ALEX MINIAK

Those who have heard me at Petco Park, on TV, or in MLB The Show know I have a unique style.

While I can't connect with fans inside the ballpark, I know they're eagerly tuned in.

Given a much different set of circumstances, I rejoined the rebooted program.

I joined San Diego media to offer perspective and levity on what was to be Opening Day.

It was Thursday, March 26th, and I awoke to an urgent text.

I really missed Opening Day. What could I do to provide some comfort for our fanbase?

I just wrapped up my 6th season in Major League Baseball. 471 consecutive Padres games.
