April 3, 1984
It was an opening day worthy of what would be a championship season. Fireworks in honor of the late Padres owner Ray Kroc, and the Navy’s leapfrog team parachuting into the stadium kicked off the game. Ushers wore white tuxes and the San Diego Chicken arrived in style stepping out of a limo. Fans were pumped up and optimistic. Food even tasted better. They beat the Pirates 5-1—a great start to a most memorable season. CBS 8's Susan Lichtman mixed it up with the fans.
