Offseason[edit]
- January 12, 1972: Rich Troedson was drafted by the Padres in the 1st round (6th pick) of the secondary phase of the 1972 Major League Baseball Draft.[1]
Regular season[edit]
As of 2010, no Padres pitcher has ever thrown a no-hitter. The closest any has come to date came on July 18 against the Philadelphia Phillies, when Steve Arlin came within one out of a no-hitter before a Denny Doyle single broke up the bid.

Awards and honors[edit]
1972 Major League Baseball All-Star Game
- Nate Colbert, reserve[6]
Colbert scored the winning run, but he brought the wrong uniform with him to Atlanta. The San Diego Padres' slugger donned his road jersey with SAN DIEGO on it instead of his home one with PADRES on it.
