The Padres have made only two World Series appearances, losing to the Detroit Tigers in 1984 and to the New York Yankees in 2000. Thanks for reminding me of the Washington Senators/Texas Rangers franchise that has been in the American League since 1960 and has not won a World Series yet, losing to the San Francisco Giants in 2010 and the St. Louis Cardinals in 2011, making it the oldest MLB expansion team to not yet win a Series.

As a further note, the Pilots/Brewers franchise has made the Series only once (against the Cardinals in 1982) and the Expos/Nationals have never been to a Series yet.

Padres won only one game in the Series against Detroit, and were swept in 4 games in the Series against the Yankees. Two World Series and they won a grand total of one game.

I recall a column by Mike Royko during the playoffs in 1984 about how San Diego didn't deserve to get to the WS because San Diegans were not baseball fanatics the way the Cubs fans were (they were playing the Cubs in the playoffs).
