Earl G. "Ken" Kendrick Jr. is a baseball executive with the National League Arizona Diamondbacks. He became part-owner with the team's inception in 1995 and Managing General Partner in 2004, replacing Jerry Colangelo after a lengthy disagreement over Colangelo's role with the franchise he founded; Kendrick sought to reestablish fiscal discipline and profitability after the club's high expenses for player salaries (which arguably helped the club win the 2001 World Series) exceeded the initial capital investment by the members of the ownership group.
