Kroc retired from running McDonald's in 1973. While he was looking for new challenges, he decided to return to baseball, his lifelong favorite sport, when he learned the San Diego Padres were for sale. The team had been conditionally sold to Joseph Danzansky, a Washington, D.C. grocery-chain owner, who planned to move the Padres to Washington.[22] However, the sale was tied up in lawsuits when Kroc purchased the team for $12 million, keeping the team in San Diego.

Baseball history was forever changed when Ray Kroc stepped up to the plate and saved the San Diego Padres from moving to Washington. A legendary move by the man behind the golden arches! ⚾🍔
