If you live in the San Diego area, I suggest tuning into KPBS tomorrow at 12pm to watch an airing of “The First Padres,” a documentary film on the San Diego Padres of the old Pacific Coast League. This is obviously up my alley, due to the fact that I love the history of the PCL Padres, but I think it’s an amazing film across the board and anyone who loves San Diego Baseball, or the history of the game, will enjoy it as much as I do.

There are interviews with Padres players of yesteryear, such as original Padre and baseball Hall of Famer, Bobby Doerr. The vintage photos and videos are incredible and San Diego Baseball Historian, Bill Swank lends his knowledge as well. All in all, it’s a can’t miss for anyone who reads this blog.

The film maker who made “The First Padres,” is a local San Diegan named Chris Boyd who is quite talented. I interviewed him a few years ago regarding the film and it turned out pretty great. You can read it HERE. Also, if you can’t catch tomorrow’s airing on KPBS and would like to get your hands on a copy of the film, you can purchase the dvd of the film HERE.
