Peter Seidler, the San Diego Padres owner who spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the as-yet elusive goal of bringing the city its first World Series title, died on Tuesday in San Diego.
His death was confirmed in a statement on Tuesday from the Padres.
Seidler was not shy about his ambitions to win a World Series with the Padres, no matter the cost.
Under his leadership, the Padres spent big on players in hopes of winning a title.
“I kind of like spending money,” Seidler told The San Diego Union-Tribune last year.
