The debut of Petco Park notwithstanding, John Moores' status as a San Diego icon came nearly a decade earlier when, in the middle of a Major League Baseball player's strike that lead to the first cancellation of a World Series in 90 years, he did the unthinkable.
Moores was no stranger to America's Finest City when he opened his checkbook to become then one of only 28 Major League Baseball franchise owners (the league since added two more teams in Phoenix and Tampa Bay).
Moores also advocates for a change in local government with the implementation of a strong mayor-form of council government, indicating the negotiations for Petco Park would have been streamlined.

However, at one of the special outside auditor meetings, the auditing firm (the now-defunct Arthur Andersen) stressed that Peregrine was improperly recognizing revenue and "not truthfully" disclosing this in filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
