San Diego is a city in California, located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. It is known for its beautiful beaches and temperate climate. The city is home to the San Diego Padres, a Major League Baseball team that plays in the National League West division. The Padres' nickname is derived from the Spanish word for 'fathers, ' which is fitting given the city's strong Catholic heritage. The Padres have been playing in San Diego since 1969 and have won two World Series titles.
