Player/Owner Cards
 
Now that Nolan Ryan's Texas Rangers have made it to ACLS, we were trying to assemble a list of major league baseball owners who had a baseball card
(during their playing days)

1. Griffith
2. Mack (owned percentage)
3. Comiskey
4 Rickey- General Manager (don't recall if he owned Dodger stock)
5. Ryan


We're sure we're missing a long list would appreciate your help

Thanks

John McGraw became part owner of the New York Giants late in his managerial career.
Cap Anson was part owner of the Chicago Colts.
Ned Hanlon owned the Baltimore Feds.
Clark Griffith owned the Washington Senators.
Billy Beane is a minority owner of the Oakland A's.

And Dan's additions. Don't have Beane. (Thanks for indulging me)!

Haywood Sullivan, I believe.

don't forget George W. Bush!
 
Hi Bruce,
George W. Bush, (managing general partner) of the Rangers is featured on many non-sport cards.

Boston Red Sox
 
Tom Yawkey and Haywood Sullivan.........
I forget the Boston Braves owners, but I think there's one owner on a card.

Bill, I think Bruce is looking for former players who became principal or part owners of teams. Yawkey and Bush don't fit that bill.

thanks, Dan!
 
OK, thanks. I was just excited to add the owners on cards! I'm going to look up the Boston Braves owners anyway! I love this board and like to participate.
All of you are great people whom I admire.
