Encyclopedia > Mark Attanasio

Mark L. Attanasio is a Los Angeles investment banker who, in September of 2004, reached a deal to purchase the Milwaukee Brewers from Major League Baseball (MLB) commissioner Bud Selig for US$180 million. The deal was approved by MLB at the owner's winter meeting on January 13, 2005.


He is a senior partner with the money management firm Trust Company of the West.


After growing up in New York City, Attanasio graduated from Brown University with a B.A. in 1979 and received his J.D. from Columbia Law School in 1982. He founded Dallas investment firm Crescent Capital Partners in 1991, which was later bought by Trust Company of the West in 1995. In 2001, Attanasio joined the board of directors at the telecommunications firm Global Crossing, which filed for bankruptcy in January 2002. He resigned his position on the board shortly thereafter.

Opinions: Mark Belling (903 words)
While Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio has brought a breath of fresh air to Milwaukee’s generally pathetic baseball franchise, the recent firings of several longtime Brewers beer vendors is a sign of what happens when an out-of-town owner runs a company without much concern for local people.
Attanasio has had two consecutive years of huge operating profits with the Brewers and has used the money to dramatically pay down the debt he assumed when he bought the team from the Selig consortium.
If Mark Attanasio lets this decision stand, it will be a strong indication his lone concern is for the bottom line and that true Milwaukee baseball fans are low on his priority list.
The A factor (1012 words)
Instead of being greeted with high fives and congratulations, Attanasio was instead welcomed by a well-meaning but unsuspecting usher who attempted to put a quick halt to Attanasio’s efforts to enter the clubhouse.
Attanasio, still grinning ear to ear from a whirlwind day replied — with the apologetic sound of a youngster whose hands are firmly entrenched in a cookie jar — that he is, in fact the "new owner of the Milwaukee Brewers."
Attanasio calls Yost a great motivator and says Yost’s attitude and expectations have set the mission for the year.
