In an effort to prove they’re not just the Dodgers’ little brothers, the Padres have pulled the most little-brother crap ever, announcing last week that only fans from Padres Territory will be allowed to buy tickets to any NLDS games played at Petco Park. The goal is to keep Dodger fans from overrunning the stadium like they generally do when the two teams play in San Diego.
Only fans in San Diego County, the southern parts of Orange and Riverside Counties, and other Padres-safe counties were allowed to purchase tickets, with the Padres saying anyone else buying tickets would have their sales canceled and refunded.
