Padres vs Philadelphia Phillies @ Citizens Bank Park
August 16-18, 2019
Sometimes things can get a little fuzzy after a couple of days of partying with fellow Padres fans in the Gaslamp. The occasional memory refresher can come in handy. Here’s a friendly reminder of what we may have missed while we were drinking.
This is The Hangover.
