On Saturday, April 17 the Padres are hosting "Noche Mexicana & Viva South Bay!" presented by Cox/Channel 4 San Diego and brought to you by Invasora 99.7-FM. This theme pays homage to the Padres Latino fan base and honors community heroes from the South Bay .
- Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez will be presented his 2009 Gold Glove by the Rawlings Company in a pre-game ceremony at home plate.

- This is the first PETCO Park Saturday night home game with the new 5:35 p.m. start time. The first 25,000 fans will receive a David Eckstein Bobblehead (gates open at 4:00 p.m.) and those purchasing 20 or more tickets will receive a limited-edition San Diego Padres Luchador - Wrestling - Mask.

- Mexico will be honored as the Mexican Consulate, Remedios G�mez Arnau, will receive a Padres jersey commemorating that country's 200th anniversary. Also, the Mexican National Anthem will be performed by Maximino Melchor Vazquez of the Opera de Tijuana.

- The Ceremonial First Pitch will be thrown by Michael and Cynthia Chavez-Ybarra. The San Diego residents are brother and sister and are (adult) grandchildren of civil rights pioneer Cesar E. Chavez.

- This is also the first of three (3) Latino-focused "Family Fiesta" games. The Padres, through the Padres Foundation, have pledged to donate $10,000 to organizations that serve our region's Latino communities. The first of these donations will be a $3,000 gift before the game to San Ysidro Health Center's "Reach Out and Read" (ROR) program. ROR provides free books to South Bay children age 6 months to 5 years to emphasize the importance of early reading to parents.

- The Star-Spangled Banner will be performed by the winner of a South Bay community open audition, 12-year old Ashley Montes of Hilltop Middle School. Montes, who is active in her church Agape Christian Center , is a student in Hilltop's prestigious Foreign Language Acquisition & Guidance (FLAGs) program. Enthusiastic and bright, Montes is active in her school and community.
