From Estadio Chevron to Petco Park by Armond Feffer

For Mexican Padres fans living in Tijuana, baseball transcends borders, with the love for the game flowing seamlessly between two cities and two teams.

This photo story explores the deep connection between Padres fans who support both the Toros del Tijuana at Estadio Chevron and the Padres at Petco Park, connected by more than just their shared passion for baseball.

The San Diego Trolley, running from San Ysidro to downtown San Diego, becomes a lifeline for these fans, symbolizing the easy movement between two cultures, two stadiums, and one love for the game.

As fans travel back and forth, their loyalty to the Padres and the Toros reflects a deeper bond, where baseball becomes a bridge linking their Mexican roots and their San Diego pride.

Through this series, we capture the vibrant stories of cross-border fans, whose hearts are split between two cities but united by one game.
