This is the same Ray Kroc that founded McDonald’s right? I never knew he owned a baseball team. And my favorite ballplayer was on that team that year! (A 22-year-old Dave Winfield, sent to the major leagues directly out of college. He wasn’t bad that year, 22 home runs and a .265 average in a pitcher’s era, but he’d improve every year for the next six years, until getting robbed for the MVP by Keith Hernandez, who had 0.7 fewer WAR, 13 fewer RBI, .045 lower SLG, .033 lower OPS. Both would win gold gloves.)

Ray founded The McDonald’s Corporation, not McDonald’s the restaurant.
