San Diegans knew how special Peter Seidler was but I hope the rest of baseball realizes it as well. He was one of the few owners not just in baseball but in sports that truly cared most about winning a championship for the city. It didn’t matter how much it would take—he was going to give it.
“I kind of like spending money. You can’t take it with you,” Seidler once said.
He wasn’t just a special human being because of what he did as the chairman of the San Diego Padres. He wanted others to have better lives that weren’t as fortunate as he was.
