San Diego Padres vs Chicago White Sox at Petco Park
The Chicago White Sox visit Petco Park on May 1 in an interleague matchup that carries the particular weight of an American League club entering National League territory. Interleague games at Petco Park have a distinct quality — the visiting club arrives without the familiarity of regular divisional opponents, and the Padres faithful show up to see what the competition from the other side of the ledger brings. Petco Park on a Thursday evening in early May is exactly what it sounds like: the workweek still present in the crowd's energy, the marine layer beginning to pull back, the stadium lights creating that specific Petco Park atmosphere where the waterfall sculpture in right-center catches the light and reminds you there is no other park like this one. The Padres take interleague games seriously. So does everyone else at a sold-out Petco Park.
