Diamond legends with serious business empires.

9 profiles, published in one list. Every profile is fact-checked against its sources, and every source opens inside the magazine.

Nine profiles of baseball greats whose second careers are as serious as their first: the diamond made them legends, and business made them empires.

The list features Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Ken Griffey Jr. and Nolan Ryan. Each profile follows the same arc — the playing years, the retirement that was not one, and the companies and investments built since.

Baseball gives a man fame for a decade or two. What he does with it afterwards is the real story, and it is the one told here, profile by profile, with every source linked.
