Controversial former owner, president and CEO of National League's Cincinnati Reds. She was the first woman to buy a baseball team rather than inherit it. She allegedly called outfielders Eric Davis and Dave Parker "million dollar (n*words)" and had Nazi swastika armband at her home. In 1994, she said she did not want her players wearing earrings because "only fruits wear earrings". Despite her reputation she was a hands-off owner, the Reds had the lowest ticket prices in baseball under her regime, the stadium served $1 hotdogs, and she would let children play in the outfield before the games.
