	Houston's Clear Thinkers: More trouble in one of John Moores' California investments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Former Houstonian John Moores -- who founded Houston-based BMC Software, has been a major philanthrapist for the University of Houston and is currently the owner of the San Diego Padres Baseball Club -- is the former chairman of the board of Peregrine.
		Moores and his entities sold over 14 million Peregrine shares worth $630 million from 1999 to 2001 during a time in which Peregrine's financial reports were being falsified.
		Moores and others -- and now the Justice Department -- are taking the position that those results were the result of the Peregrine executives' cooking of the company's books.

		Washington came in first in population, estimated attendance, median household income and baseball history and is the largest media market in the country without a Major League Baseball franchise.
		Baseball has told prospective buyers that it doesn't want to move or sell the Expos until financing for a new ballpark is solidly in place, which none of these cities has yet.
		Major League Baseball was supposed to announce the status of the Expos during the All-Star break, although that decision was delayed until the end of September.

	JOHN MOORES - Special Program
		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.

	ESPN.com - Padres owner has deep, troubled pockets
		"If John Moores is found to be controlling all of the improprieties, it is possible that (his share in) the Padres could be liquidated," said Jeffrey Krinsk, an attorney who represents as many as 200 investors in four class-action lawsuits that name Peregrine and Moores as defendants.
		Moores, a software entrepreneur who bought the Padres in 1994 for about $85 million, was named the 18th "most greediest executive" in the September issue of Fortune Magazine for cashing out hundreds of millions in Peregrine stock.
		Moores did not return calls by ESPN.com seeking comment, but spokesperson Francie Murphy said the idea of freezing Moores' assets should be taken with a grain of salt.

		Last week, Moores was one of a handful of Major League Baseball owners who said he would be unwilling to continually finance a team under the game's current economic system.
		Moores served as chairman from March 1990 to July 2000, but took over the role again in May after the firm's top two officers, chairman and CEO Steve Gardner and CFO Matt Gless, resigned.

	Padres name Alderson CEO - Fantasy Baseball Cafe 2006
		Moores, it turns out, was negotiating to bring Alderson aboard at the time, and he wanted to give Alderson as much of a blank slate as he could.
		What John should think -- and should have done -- is this: He should have agreed to extend Bochy's deal this spring for a couple of reasons.
		And Freeman is more beancounter than baseball man -- which is a philosophical fit with Moores, who has been one of Selig's foot soldiers defending fiscal restraint and small-market ideals -- and perhaps not the guy you want presenting your baseball case to the owner.

		Moores said the extension was spearheaded collectively behind the scenes by the owners, who want to continue to stabilize the industry and keep Selig's leadership in place.
		This season, the sports' major three issues are trying to resolve the relocation of the Montreal Expos, establish a World Cup-type baseball tournament to include Major League players beginning in either 2005 or 2006, and broaden the current drug testing program now in force at the big-league level.
		Under Selig, baseball's revenue has grown exponentially and owners have started to pay down $1.5 billion in debt that was threatening to stifle the industry.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > Sports > Tim Sullivan -- Moores: Baseball is out of whack
		Moores uses the word "whacko" to convey the common man's impression of a business in which the average salary exceeds $2 million per year, the average club cannot presume to compete for the pennant and the average family is being priced out of the ballpark by ever-escalating costs.
		Moores says he expects to lose $15 million this season, more if the players walk.
		Because Moores is among those who will soon benefit from a new, subsidized ballpark, some of his statements might seem disingenuous.
