The Padres welcomed the 16th and 17th members of the team’s Hall of Fame on Thursday evening as longtime broadcaster Ted Leitner and former CEO Larry Lucchino were inducted during a pregame ceremony at Petco Park.
“This is the single greatest honor of my professional life,” Leitner told the fans before the Padres’ series opener against the Giants. Said Lucchino: “We should all feel some sense of pride that the Padres’ future is bright indeed.”
