Former athletes figureheads as owner

By Tangotiger, 01:04 PM

When did this happen?  Gretzky is now going to be part of the group (for the second time by the way, after his 10% interest in the Coyotes).  We had Mario Lemieux (who parlayed his not getting paid by the bankrupt Penguins into an ownership stake).  Michael Jordan (I guess, I don’t know, presumably was not a majority owner).  Nolan Ryan?  There were recent bids fronted by former stars.  How far back does it go, and is this the new wave?
