August 1, 1993 - Ewing Marion Kauffman was an American pharmaceutical entrepreneur, philanthropist, and Major League Baseball owner. Ewing Kauffman established the Kansas City Royals, bringing major league baseball back to Kansas City. After efforts to bring partners into the Royals ownership group failed, Kauffman dictated that the new owner would keep the Royals in Kansas City, sell the team for a fair price, and have proceeds from the sale go to local charities.
On November 8, 2007, he was nominated to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame as part of the 2008 class. He was not elected. Kaufman died of lung cancer at 76
