"Hell's Bells" |
AC/DC |
The classic tune since the 1998 World Series season; it's signature in San Diego. |
The Padres are contending again, thanks in large part to a pitching staff with a combined 3.84 ERA. That's a big difference from last year when they were ranked 13th with a 4.87 team ERA. So how'd they turn it around?
Many would point to San Diego's new -- and very spacious -- ballpark, but we'd like to think it has something to do with the combination of hurlers, heavy metal and hard rock.
