Former Cowboys QB Part Owner of MLB Padres
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Twenty-five years after drawing interest from
the New York Mets coming out of high school, Hall of Fame
quarterback Troy Aikman is dabbling in baseball again.
This time it's as a part owner of the San Diego Padres.
The former Dallas Cowboys star threw out the ceremonial first
pitch before Thursday's game against the Houston Astros. He bounced
it in the dirt just in front of right-hander Chris Young, a Dallas
native.
Aikman, a Southern California native, is an investor in the
group headed by Jeff Moorad that has bought 35 percent of the
Padres from John Moores and has five years to buy the rest. Moorad
used to be partners with Aikman's agent, Leigh Steinberg.
