Pitcher Wells honored Former major league baseball pitcher David Wells, a Point Loma High School (PLHS) alum and former San Diego Padre, will be honored several times in the coming months by community groups. The school’s baseball field will be named in Wells’ honor at a ceremony Wednesday, Feb. 20 prior to the annual varsity versus alumni game. Wells has provided thrills for PLHS varsity players by pitching for the alumni team over the past two years and is expected to take the mound again. He will be joined by a squad of former players who wore Pointer colors dating from last year to some who played in the 1980s. Wells is perhaps best known for pitching only the 15th perfect game in major league baseball history on May 17, 1998. He joins fellow PLHS graduate Don Larsen, who pitched a perfect game in the 1956 World Series, making the Pointers the only high school in the U.S. that can boast of two such graduates. The ceremony will be held at 1 p.m. at the facility, located on the campus of Dana Middle School, 1775 Chatsworth Blvd.
