#Padres president/CEO Tom Garfinkel resigns not quite a year after new ownership group took over. Garf was holdover from Moorad regime.

I give credit to @TomGarfinkel for the ballpark dimension changes and good steps toward positive interactivity with the #Padres fan base.

Timing is everything. It’s Padres social media night, in which Padres executives will have pre game forum with fans. Should be interesting
