Padres' late owner's widow sues for control of team from his siblings

San Diego Padres’ second baseman Ian Kinsler appeared to yell ‘f--- you all’ at a crowd after he hit a big home run.

The San Diego Padres are in the midst of a custody battle. 

Sheel Kamal Seidler, the widow of deceased team owner Peter Seidler, has filed a lawsuit against his two brothers in attempt to seize control of the team. 

The widow has alleged in her complaint that Peter, before his death, revealed his dying wish was for her to take control of the Padres, followed by their children, and that her children hold the largest stake in ownership. She adds that Peter's two brothers, Matt and Bob, "are trying to erase Peter's vision and legacy, as well as falsely cast themselves as Peter's true heirs."

The suit also alleges that Bob’s wife made multiple "racist, profane and hateful communications directed at Sheel—a woman of Indian descent—in communications."

The widow released a statement addressing the complaint on social media.
