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.

That's an interesting piece of sports history! It's great to see how Ray Kroc's passion for baseball led him to save the San Diego Padres from being relocated. Sports team ownership can have a significant impact on a community, and Kroc's decision to keep the team in San Diego must have meant a lot to the fans. It's a reminder of how individuals can make a difference in preserving local sports traditions.
