Major League Baseball Owners and Executives

tnfoto · 03-25-2016, 09:11 AM

In this thread we will collect and track owners and key executives for current and historical major league teams. I am still in the process of compiling an owners/execs database including:

The owner of record
Minority owners when known
President/CEO (which is often one of the owners)
GM

I am open to including other team executives beyond those roles and welcome images of VPs, etc.

Thanks to all who contribute!

Frank Knorr not available due to some band of morons from "Historic Images" stamping their watermark over pictures they don't own...ala Getty Images. Copyright trolls are one of my pet peeves.

Tigers owners, that is.
