SAN DIEGO -- The Padres Hall of Fame is officially open.
In a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday afternoon, the Padres unveiled their Hall of Fame Plaza located at the K Street entrance behind left field. The Hall includes an interior exhibit, which puts San Diego's baseball history on display, and an exterior courtyard with plaques to honor the Padres who have been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Friday's ceremony featured several current members of the Padres Hall of Fame -- which until now, did not have a specific home at Petco Park. Former left-hander Randy Jones -- the first member to be inducted, outfielder Dave Winfield and shortstop Garry Templeton were all on hand for the festivities.
