Description
Charles Albert "The Old Roman" Comiskey was an American Major League Baseball player, manager and team owner. He was a key person in the formation of the American League, and was also founding owner of the Chicago White Sox.
Comiskey Park, the White Sox' storied baseball stadium, was built under his guidance and named for him.
Comiskey's reputation was permanently tarnished by his team's involvement in the Black Sox Scandal, a conspiracy to "throw" the 1919 World Series which some have excused by allegations that his poor treatment of White Sox players fueled the conspiracy.
Comiskey was inducted as an executive into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939.
