With 111 wins this regular season, the Dodgers seemed all ready to enter the World Series but ended up losing the NLDS. It is the first time that the San Diego Padres have made it to the NLCS in more than 2 decades, 24 years to be exact.

After 53 years of being in existence, 2022 is the third time the Padres have won a national league pennant. Till now, the team has not won any World Series, but surely, the team is on the path to winning one. The team has won 89 games in this regular reason, and the team they’re fighting against in NLCS, the Philadelphia Phillies, have also won less than 90 games. 

Recently, Padres pitcher Blake Snell fulfilled the dream of a 96-year-old fan of the team with an incredible gesture. The gesture was undeniably beautiful, that it melted the hearts of many.

What was the wish of a long-time San Diego Padres fan?

A woman on Instagram posted a reel of her 96-year-old grandma wanting to see the Padres play a championship game before she dies. The reel notably went viral and somehow reached the Padres’ pitcher Blake Snell. The star fulfilled her wish and brought her to see the Padres play in the second game of the NLCS. There, she could be seen watching the game while enjoying a beer. 

She also came as a lucky charm for the team, because the Padres won against the Phillies by 8-5. It was tough to reach where the Padres are right now. They fought against the Mets in the Wild Card Series, and it certainly was tough to play against a team having 101 wins in the regular season. After winning against the Mets, the Padres advanced to the NLDS.

There, they fought against the LA Dodgers, who had 111 wins in the regular season. The Padres created the upset of the season, as a team with 89 wins won against a team with 111 wins. 

How did the fans react to the grandma’s wish getting fulfilled?

Several fans took to Twitter to react to the wholesome moment, as the 96-year-old fan was enjoying the game with fellow Padres fans.

Well, Blake sure did a great job!!
