Seasons

The 2001 San Diego Padres season was the 33rd season in franchise history.

  • December 10, 2000: Ernie Young was signed as a free agent with the San Diego Padres.[2]
  • December 15, 2000: Adam Riggs was signed as a free agent with the San Diego Padres.[3]
  • January 12, 2001: Heathcliff Slocumb was released by the San Diego Padres.[4]

Regular season

Rickey Henderson

  • During the 2001 season, Rickey Henderson broke two major league records and reached a career milestone. He broke Babe Ruth's all-time record for walks, Ty Cobb's all-time record for runs (doing so with a home run), and on the final day of the season, he had his 3,000th career hit. That final game was also Padre legend Tony Gwynn's last major league game, and is the only time in Major League history in which two teammates had 3,000 hits each. Rickey had originally wanted to sit that game out so as not to detract from the occasion, but Gwynn insisted that Henderson play.

At the age of 42, his last substantial major league season, Henderson finished the year with 25 stolen bases, ninth in the NL. It also marked Rickey Henderson's 23rd consecutive season in which he'd stolen more than 20 bases.
