Regular season
After spending $6 million to acquire free-agent first baseman Steve Garvey in 1983, the Padres signed free-agent reliever Goose Gossage to a five-year contract for $6.25 million in January 1984.[12][13] The deal made Gossage the highest-salaried pitcher in baseball at the time.[13] Manager Dick Williams, who had asked General Manager Jack McKeon to obtain a strikeout-type reliever, declared that the acquisition made San Diego a playoff contender.[14] Eight days after signing Gossage, Padres owner Ray Kroc died at the age of 81.[15] The season was dedicated to his memory with the team wearing his initials, "RAK" on their jersey's left sleeve during the entire season.[3][16] Ownership of the team passed to his wife, Joan Kroc.[15]
In February,
The Padres won their first four games of the season, and were 9–2 before leaving on their first road trip.
The team relied on
San Diego's pitching staff was last in the league in
Williams led the team with a tough, no-nonsense approach.[32] He cited the advantage of having the experience of veterans Garvey, Nettles, and Gossage on the team.[42] Prior to joining the Padres, Garvey and Nettles had advanced to the World Series four times, while Gossage had participated in two.[43] Throughout the season, they stressed the value of consistency and an even temperament to youngsters like Gwynn, McReynolds, and Martinez, who were among the 11 players on the team with less than four years of major league experience.[28][44] Gossage and Nettles, in particular, would stay after games and talk baseball and have a beer with the youngsters.[28] Additionally, Templeton befriended Wiggins, helping his transition from the outfield to second base.[40]
Brawl with the Atlanta Braves
The Padres' regular season is most remembered for an August 12 Sunday afternoon game at Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium against the Atlanta Braves. The Braves were expected to be contenders for the division title, but were a disappointing 9 1/2 games out of first at gametime. The start of the game was delayed 2 hours by rain.
Braves starting pitcher Pascual Pérez hit Alan Wiggins with the very first pitch of the game, which seemed to put the Padres into retaliatory mode. The Braves went up 2–0 in the bottom of the first on a Claudell Washington homer.
When Perez came to bat in the bottom of the 2nd, Padres starter Ed Whitson threw at him as he squared to bunt. Perez responded by wielding his bat and starting toward Whitson, but home plate umpire Steve Rippley restrained him as both benches began to clear. Rippley issued a warning to both teams without any fighting ensuing. The Braves scored another run in the inning to go up 3–0.
In the bottom of the fourth, Whitson threw three straight inside fastballs at Perez, and Rippley ejected both Whitson and manager
In the bottom of the eighth, Craig Lefferts threw at Perez and Rippley ejected both him and second acting manager Jack Krol, leaving only Harry Dunlop to manage the rest of the way. This time, both the Braves' and Padres' dugouts cleared and the brawl was on. First base umpire John McSherry and Padres first baseman Steve Garvey attempted to head off the onslaught, but both were caught in the middle as both teams exchanged punches. The brawl went on for 10 minutes before reserve infielder Champ Summers stormed towards Perez, who had retreated to the Braves' dugout. Bob Horner (who was actually on the disabled list with an injured wrist, but dressed in uniform once the initial brawl started) met Summers at the front of the dugout and he and the Braves' Rick Camp wrestled him to the ground along with a fan who leaped on top of Summers from the stands. Another fan doused Summers with a drink. On the side, the Padres' Bobby Brown and the Braves' Gerald Perry engaged in a fight of their own. Summers, Brown, Camp, and Perry were all ejected.
Finally, in the top of the ninth, Braves' reliever Donnie Moore hit Nettles with his second pitch when he came to bat, sparking yet another fight. Nettles was wrestled to the ground by Rick Mahler and Steve Bedrosian as he came after Moore. Moore was then attacked by Goose Gossage as he retreated to the dugout and Gossage was wrestled to the ground by manager Joe Torre and other Braves players. Nettles then went after Moore again and was finally restrained, but Gerald Perry, who had already been ejected, went after Tim Flannery. Moore, Nettles, Gossage, and Torre were ejected at that point.[45] Several other players besides Perry from both teams who were ejected after the previous fight risked suspensions by returning to the field to participate. Fans in the seats behind the Padres' dugout began to taunt the Padres, including Ed Whitson, who had been ejected back in the fourth inning. The fans began to pelt and shower the Padre players with drinks, prompting Kurt Bevacqua to climb to the top of the dugout with a bat. At that moment, a fan leaped onto the field and tried to steal a batting helmet before being tackled by players and detained by security. Finally, Rippley, McSherry, and the umpiring crew ordered players and coaches for both sides not otherwise engaged in the game out of their dugouts and into their clubhouses for the remainder of the game. All fans who participated in the taunting and brawls were detained and arrested.[46]
Once the game finally resumed, Gene Garber pitched the remainder for the Braves with Joe Pignatano acting for Torre. The Padres scored two in the ninth, but no more as the Braves won 5–3.[47] Fines and suspensions were issued four days later on August 16 to Williams ($10,000, ten days) and Summers, Brown, Torre ($1,000), Perry ($700), Bedrosian ($600) and Mahler ($700) who each received three-day suspensions. Virgil, Krol, Whitson, Booker, Lefferts, Bevacqua, Flannery, Nettles and Gossage for the Padres (all undisclosed) and Moore ($350) and Pérez ($300) for the Braves were all fined but not suspended.[48]

After returning from Chicago on a delayed flight, the team boarded buses from the airport, and was boosted by the surprising 2,000 fans waiting to greet them at the Jack Murphy Stadium parking lot at about 9:45 P.M.
San Diego won the series, 3–2.

World series
In the 1984 World Series, the Padres faced the powerful Detroit Tigers, who steamrolled through the regular season with 104 victories (and had started out with a 35–5 record, the best ever through the first 40 games). The Tigers were managed by Sparky Anderson and featured shortstop and native San Diegan Alan Trammell and outfielder Kirk Gibson, along with Lance Parrish and DH Darrell Evans. The pitching staff was bolstered by ace Jack Morris (19-11, 3.60 ERA), Dan Petry (18-8), Milt Wilcox (17-8), and closer Willie Hernández (9-3, 1.92 ERA with 32 saves).[65] Jack Morris would win games 1 and 4 and the Tigers would go on to win the Series in five games.[66]
San Diego's starting pitchers crumbled in the postseason with a combined ERA of 9.09, including 13.94 against Detroit, surpassing the Cubs mark of 9.50 in 1932 as the worst in the then-82-year history of the World Series.[21][67] Show, Thurmond, Lollar, and Whitson combined to throw only 10+2⁄3 innings versus the Tigers while surrendering 25 hits, eight walks, and 16 earned runs.[68] Only once did a starter pitch at least five innings.[67] Whitson (NLCS Game 3) was the only starter to earn a win in the playoffs.[35] Out of the bullpen, Lefferts was excellent in the postseason with 10 scoreless innings in six appearances, while Hawkins and Dravecky pitched well in the playoffs as well.[67]
After a disappointing season for 37-year-old journeyman Kurt Bevacqua, he hit .412 in the World Series as the Padres designated hitter, hitting the game-winning home run in Game 2 as well as an eighth-inning homer in the finale, which had cut San Diego's deficit to 5–4.[21][67] Playing in place of the injured McReynolds, Bobby Brown had the team's only two RBIs by Padres outfielders against the Tigers, but he batted just 1-for-15.[35]
Reporter Barry Bloom of MLB.com wrote in 2011 that "the postseason in '84 is still the most exciting week of Major League Baseball ever played in San Diego."[69] Gossage, who is mostly remembered as a Yankee, called it "special being a part of turning on a city for the first time, going to the World Series for the first time".[32]
