CINCINNATI (AP) -- Former Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott was released Tuesday from Jewish Hospital, where she was treated for an undisclosed ailment.
Hospital spokeswoman Stephanie Savicki refused to say why the 73-year-old Schott had been in the hospitalized since Friday.
Schott has been a patient several times during the past few years. She was hospitalized twice in 2001 after complaining of breathing problems and once in 1999 for allergies. She underwent surgery in 1998 after falling on her driveway and breaking her hip.
Schott gave up control of the Reds in 1999 after major league baseball ordered her to sell her interest in the team.
She had been disciplined twice by major league baseball for comments that were considered racially or ethnically offensive and had not been involved in the daily operation of the Reds since 1996.
Schott, a Cincinnati auto dealer, became a limited partner of the team in 1981. She bought the controlling share in 1984 and was in charge when the Reds won the 1990 World Series.
