San Diego Padres chairman Peter Seidler 's widow sues two brothers to become team's control person.

She says she and her three children have been "effectively ostracized" from the team since her husband's death.

The suit accuses the brothers of "fiduciary breaches of trust, fraud, conversion and egregious acts of self-dealing" The Padres announced last month that Peter 's oldest brother, John , would become control person, which Sheel says went against her late husband's wishes.

Sheel Seidler's complaint alleges she and her three children are not welcomed at the ownership suite during games.

Sheel and the children own approximately one-quarter of the Padres , fulfilling MLB 's requirement of at least a 15% stake to qualify as a control person.

The complaint includes what is said to be a handwritten note from the late owner, listing the priorities for control person in the event of his death.
