Padres
Ray Kroc owned the San Diego Padres from 1974 until his death in 1984. He purchased the team when it was a minor league franchise and helped transition it into Major League Baseball. Kroc's ownership was marked by his commitment to improving the team's performance and facilities. After his passing, the team was sold to new ownership in 1984.

Ray Kroc took risks primarily in expanding the McDonald's franchise beyond its original locations. After joining the company in the 1950s, he invested his own money to open new franchises, often facing skepticism about the fast-food model. He also took significant financial risks by securing funding and negotiating contracts with franchisees, all while striving to maintain quality and consistency across locations. His willingness to take these risks ultimately transformed McDonald's into a global fast-food powerhouse.
