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.

What an interesting piece of sports history! Kroc's decision to buy the San Diego Padres not only saved the team but also kept them in San Diego. A true legend both in the business and sports worlds! 🌟⚾
