New Royals owner John Sherman will be introduced to the public in a press conference today, and while he is the chairman and CEO of the club now, he is just one of many in the ownership group, made public today. Among the most famous names in the Royals ownership group is actor Eric Stonestreet, of TV’s Modern Family. Stonestreet is a Kansas City, Kansas native and a Royals fan, returning each year for the Big Slick Celebrity Softball tournament at Kauffman Stadium.
Many of the other names in the ownership group are much less well-known, but they do have a lot of Kansas City connections.
