👏 Congrats to Sierra G. for being the first to recognize the new mural of fan favorite Jackson Merrill on Market Street and 8th Avenue in East Village, just north of Petco Park.
And a special shoutout to Carlos R. for noting that it's on the side of the old Bootlegger building next to a parking lot at Knotty Brewing Company.
Zoom in: The Padres unveiled the new mural this week, alongside the Merrill family and local artists Carly Ealey and Christopher Konecki.
