When the history books look back on the Dodgers’ franchise, it’s safe to say that Frank McCourt may have been the worst owner of all time. Just uttering the name around Los Angeles can get you enough dirty looks to know you need to shut your mouth unless of course, you’re bad-mouthing him.
McCourt purchased the Dodgers back in 2004 knowing very well that his finances were in trouble, and anything he could do with the team’s roster would be limited. Things went from bad to worse when he had to pay out his wife over $100 million in a divorce settlement in 2011, bankrupting the Dodgers and moving team control over to MLB.
