Hundreds gathered to celebrate the life of the beloved San Diego Padres owner and philanthropist who died in November 2023 of cancer. He was 63.
SAN DIEGO — San Diego is honoring the late Padres owner and chairmanThe Padres celebrated Seidler's life and legacy with a public ceremony at Petco Park on Saturday.
"One of the greatest humans that I've had the privilege of knowing. Peter left a huge mark. Not just in the world of baseball, but in our community. His legacy will live through the countless lives he's touched and the impact he left on everyone in this building," Padres third-baseman Manny Machado said.
In 2012, Seidler followed the family tradition and took the plunge into team ownership. He partnered with Peter O'Malley and Ron Fowler to form the O'Malley Group, which in turn purchased the San Diego Padres. In 2022, the Padres went to their first League Championship Series in 24 years. Seidler's devotion to winning earned him the trust of fans and players alike.
Funds raised will be used to support the newly formed Peter Seidler Legacy Projects, which will include significant impact grants in the greater San Diego community and northern Baja.
