Photo Of A Random Padre

Today's an off day in Padreville and I don't feel like writing on the Chargers or Illini.

So I give you a photo of a random Padre. Today's random Padre: Darrin Jackson.

I'll never forget Darrin's steady work for the '91 and '92 Padres, two Drino teams that were sneaky competitive but are often forgotten when discussion turns, as it usually does when people congregate, to the best Padres teams of all time. For an 84-78 team in '91, Darrin bashed 21 bombs but managed only 49 ribeyes. That's not easy to do, but Darrin pulled it off. Then in '92 Darrin hit 17 more bombs, helping the Padres to another winning season, their 4th in 5 seasons.

Heady times.

So thank you, Darrin Jackson. You're today's Random Padre.
