California Groups Win Approval To Buy San Diego Padres
An all California group led by composer Burt Bacharach won approval to buy the San Diego Padres and keep the National League team in San Diego. Mayor Pete Wilson said the City Council approved a 15 year stadium lease, guaranteeing a first class big league franchise, while two antitrust lawsuits loom to secure league approval. The deal ends fears the Padres would move to Washington. The group includes Marjorie Everett, Vern Underwood, Mrs Gene Washburn, Dr Bob Kerlan, and two minority partners. No sale price was disclosed. Smith previously paid 10 million dollars. The lease imposes staged payments to San Diego totaling 12 million through 1977 with adjustments if the team moves later.
