Readers' Choice, Favorite Athlete: Manny Machado Now in his sixth season with the San Diego Padres, Manny Machado continues to deliver on the superstar promise that made him an instant fan favorite when he first arrived in San Diego in 2019. His leadership, confidence, and consistency both in the batter's box and in his fierce defense at third base have been a driving force in the club's success. This September, Machado set a new record for home runs by a Padres player, besting the late great Nate Colbert's 50-year hold on that title. For the Friar Faithful, the Machado momentum is exactly what feeds hope that our beloved squad can — and will — go deep in October. PHOTO BY ARMOND FEFFER/SAN DIEGO PADRES
