Cubs vs Padres Rivalry Fried Facts

Here are some fried facts (fun, spicy, or little-known tidbits) about the Chicago Cubs vs. San Diego Padres rivalry and history:

1. The 'Lee Elia Rant' Connection

In 1983, Cubs manager Lee Elia went on an infamous profanity-laced tirade against Cubs fans after a loss. One of those losses earlier that season? A 5-4 defeat to the Padres at Wrigley Field.

2. Sammy Sosa’s 60-HR Chase vs. Padres Pitching

Sammy Sosa hit his 60th home run in 1999 against the Padres’ Matt Whisenant—marking the second time he reached that milestone (after his legendary 1998 race with McGwire).

3. Rick Monday Saves the American Flag (Against the Padres)

In 1976, Cubs outfielder Rick Monday (then with the Cubs) famously snatched a burning American flag from protesters at Dodger Stadium. The Cubs were playing the Padres in that game.

4. Tony Gwynn’s Wrigley Love Affair

Padres legend Tony Gwynn hit .429 at Wrigley Field during his career—his highest batting average at any NL ballpark (min. 100 PA).

5. The 'Sandberg Game' (1984) Nearly Didn’t Happen

Before Ryne Sandberg’s legendary 2-HR game against the Cardinals in 1984, the Cubs had an extra-inning thriller against the Padres earlier that season—where Sandberg also had key hits. That Padres series helped set the tone for the Cubs’ eventual playoff run.

6. Jake Arrieta’s No-Hitter… Against the Padres

On August 30, 2015, Cubs ace Jake Arrieta tossed a no-hitter against the Padres at Dodger Stadium (due to a scheduling quirk). It was the first Cubs no-hitter since 2008.

7. The 'Steve Garvey HR' That Haunted the Cubs

While Garvey was a Dodger when he broke Cubs fans’ hearts in the 1984 NLCS, he finished his career with the Padres—adding insult to injury for Chicago fans.

8. The 'College of Coaches' Experiment vs. Padres

In 1962, the Cubs debuted their infamous 'College of Coaches' rotation system. One of their first series? Against the expansion Padres, who won their first-ever game against Chicago.

9. Kerry Wood’s 20-K Game… Padres Were Next

After Kerry Wood’s historic 20-strikeout game in 1998, his next start was against the Padres—where he struck out 13 more.

10. The 'Bizarre Rain Delay' Game (2021)

In 2021, a game at Wrigley was delayed when a small, localized storm hit only the ballpark—while the rest of Chicago was sunny. The opponent? The Padres, who went on to win in extra innings.

Bonus: Fernando Tatis Jr.’s Grand Slam Offposition

In 2020, Fernando Tatis Jr. controversially hit a 3-0 grand slam off Cubs reliever Juan Cruz in a blowout, sparking debates about 'unwritten rules.'
