All-Time Padres Team: CF


Steve Finley took us to the World Series. Need I say more?

Well he had an 18 year career with many teams where he compiled over 2,500 hits and 304 HR's. The matter here is Finley was excellent in the clutch! I can remember his game winning shots...a rocket in the gap or home run, and the two arms go straight up in celebration!

Now lets talk about his glove. Best defensive CF the Padres ever had. And this is back in the Qualcomm days (The Murph) when there were flimsy, padded outfield fences with palm trees behind them. Finley mastered the art of running full speed into that thing and snagging an extra base hit or HR away. Finley makes the All-Time Padres Team with his clutch hitting and his glove in the outfield.
