Remember back on March 26 when the Padres held a press conference regarding the sale of the Padres? There is video of the press conference but it's heavily edited. As I watched live, I noted that Moorad seemed to get annoyed when he was pressed for names of his ownership group. At the time he said he'd only name a couple because some members didn't want to be identified. He went on to name 11 of the 12 members. Shortly thereafter I asked Who is the elusive 12th member?
Here's another question: when SignOnSanDiego listed the owners they said he only mentioned 10 of the 12 members. Is Moorad included in the group of 12?
| 1 | Jeff Moorad | Former CEO of Diamondbacks and Former Player Agent |
| 2 | Troy Aikman | Hall of Fame Football Quarterback and Moorad's partner in NASCAR |
| 3 | Wayne Seltzer | Businessman, lives in Rancho Santa Fe |
| 4 | Al Baldwin | Developer, San Diego |
| 5 | Robert Piccinini | CEO of Save Mart Supermarkets (Modesto) and Moorad's partner in NASCAR |
| 6 | Tom Davin | CEO Panda Restaurant Group, Rosemead, and Moorad's partner in NASCAR |
| 7 | Richard Barry | Financial adviser, Northern California |
| 8 | Dan and Denise Costa | Entrepreneur, lives in Modesto |
| 9 | Patrick and Joanne Graham | Occupation Unknown. Residents of Rolling Hills near Los Angeles |
| 10 | John M. McEvoy | Founder, The Mobile Solution Corp., San Diego |
| 11 | Jay D. Stein | Businessman and attorney, lives in Indianapolis and Phoenix |
| 12 | ??? | ??? |
I can't find any information on Patrick and Joanne Graham except they have a son that played baseball at UCSB. Guess who's getting drafted?
Yesterday I did some detective work and emailed the Padres asking for a complete list and I received this response today:
Thank you for your inquiry. At this time, this information is not being released to the general public. Mr. Jeffrey Moorad, however, is at the point of this ownership group.
I love a good secret society, whether it be the Bilderberg Group, Skull and Bones or the San Diego Padres. I'll stay on this investigation. If I suddenly disappear, then you'll know who is responsible and that something nefarious has happened to me, either that or I got bored of blogging. It will be one or the other.
Secrets secrets are no fun, secrets secrets hurt some one
