The 1983 San Diego Padres season was the 15th season in franchise history. The team finished with an 81–81 record, their second year in a row finishing 81–81. They scored 653 runs and allowed 653 runs for a run differential of zero,[1] becoming only the second team (after the 1922 Chicago White Sox) with a .500 winning percentage and a zero run differential.[2]
This was the final season under the ownership of Ray Kroc, as he died on January 14, 1984. Ownership of the Padres would pass to Kroc's widow Joan, who would continue to own the team until 1990.
