ā€” Wear brown to every Padres’ game I attend
ā€” Find a section of Petco Park I have not yet watched a game from, buy a ticket for said section, watch a game from said section
ā€” Attend Jake Peavyā€™s first start back at Petco Park as a Padre
ā€” Attend the game where Wil Myers collects 30th home run
ā€” Attend the game where Wil Myers collects 30th stolen base

ā€” Continue to be polite and civil when faced with belligerent Giant fans
ā€” Congratulate Cubs for World Series victory (sorry, but my dadā€™s from Chicago)

ā€” Make attending a Padres game on Fatherā€™s Day a new tradition (looks like Iā€™m flying to Milwaukee)
