After collapse of 2021 and COVID season of 2020, Padres preparing for big party on field, in clubhouse if they can clinch postseason berth
to the Atlanta Braves at Petco Park, the boxes were returned to MLB, per league requirements.
“It’s what playing in the major leagues is all about,” said reliever Craig Stammen, his eyes alight at the memory. “Getting to celebrate with your best friends, throw beer and champagne on each other. There’s nothing more exciting than that.” “You’re kind of looking back at the season and looking forward to what’s next,” he said. “You’re living in every tense. It’s a celebration for what you’ve done, but it’s also energizing you for what’s to come.”“It’s a sense of relief is what it is, that you set out in the beginning of the season knowing this is what we want to accomplish, then you accomplish that goal,” Stammen said.
No one escapes without getting doused — coaches, clubhouse staff, athletic trainers, interpreters and really anyone in the plastic-draped room. To be ready for a clubhouse celebration involving approximately 60 adrenaline-filled players, coaches and staff requires preparation and a subtlety for timing, since most managers don’t want to discuss details until the berth is in clear sight. The champagne is already at Petco Park, chilling in a storage refrigerator. The goggles, sent by New Era, are tucked away in the clubhouse, with the commemorative hats and T-shirts nearby.
