SAN FRANCISCO — Allan Byer, one of the investors who helped save the San Francisco Giants from moving away from the Bay Area, died early Thursday morning. He was 91.
Byer was an original member of the ownership group that purchased the franchise in 1992 and the founder of Byer California, a supplier of girls fashion sportswear and dresses to leading department stores.
“Allan was one of the original investors who helped to save the team for San Francisco back in 1992 and helped build Oracle Park,” said Giants acting CEO and Board Member Rob Dean in a statement released by the team.
