With the San Diego Padres making their way through the postseason, San Diego is rallying around the hometown team.
Local artists Paul Jimenez and Signe Ditona from Ground Floor Murals have been working on Padres murals for years, and with a stronger-than-ever team vying for the World Series, this season is no different.
The latest two Padres portraits painted by the artists popped up in Chula Vista, celebrating Jorge Alfaro and Dylan Cease.

Over the years, the muralists have painted Joe Musgrove’s ear check, the San Diego-oose and even the old San Diego Chicken mascot stomping on the Phillies Phanatic mascot, amid their faceoff in the 2022 postseason. Although that particular piece has since been painted over, the duo at Ground Floor Murals continue to paint the iconic moments of the San Diego Padres.
One of their latest pieces is a portrait of Padres Pitcher Dylan Cease, with the play-on-words: "Cease se puede."

Other homages to the Pads include a newly-added "LFGSD" panorama at the corner of University and 30th in North Park. Artists Carly Ealey and Christopher Konecki painted that one, according to the North Park Main Street Association. The "Cardiff Cook," an infamous statue in the Encinitas town, was also seen donning Padres gear during the postseason.
The Padres murals across San Diego County include Musgrove at his Alma Matter, a trio of Manny Machado and two portraits of Fernando Tatis Jr.
