A Season to Remember: 1998 Padres NL Champions Book
Commemorative book documenting the Padres’ 1998 pennant-winning season. Featuring Gwynn, Hoffman, Caminiti, and the club’s march to the World Series.
Description
A Season to Remember captures the full story of the San Diego Padres’ 1998 National League Championship campaign—arguably the most complete season in franchise history. Behind a 98–64 regular season record and a dominant postseason run, the team claimed its second NL pennant and reached the World Series for the first time since 1984. The roster featured a mix of veterans and prime talent: Trevor Hoffman recorded 53 saves, Kevin Brown posted a 2.38 ERA, and Ken Caminiti provided power in the heart of the order. But it was Tony Gwynn, in his 17th season, who remained the cornerstone—batting .321, notching his 15th All-Star nod, and driving in key postseason runs, including a Game 1 home run in the World Series. This commemorative volume, sourced from the Gwynn Estate, includes team and game photography, full-season stats, and player reflections that chronicle the grit and chemistry of a championship clubhouse.
