ST. LOUIS — Enos Stanley Kroenke, a Missouri native and owner of the Rams, is named after two of this city’s most revered baseball figures, the hustling outfielder Enos Slaughter and the gentlemanly hitter Stan Musial.
Mr. Kroenke, 68, was once a local hero, too. He helped lure the N.F.L. franchise from Los Angeles in 1995 and was a minority owner when the Rams won the Super Bowl title in 2000.
But now that the Rams are returning to the West Coast, Mr. Kroenke has assumed the cartoon villainy of many a franchise owner who has broken a city’s heart by relocating a team.
