  • Randy Reiss said:
    Gary Herrmann was owner of the Cincinnati Reds Charles Ebbets was the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers and from: www.baseball-fever.com/archive/index.php/t-46160.html "Helene Britton, the first woman to own a major league club, inherited the St. Louis Cardinals from her uncle Stanley Robison in 1911. Despite efforts to force her out by other National League owners, Britton stood her ground. After her marriage broke up, she assumed control over day-to-day operations from her husband, becoming the first woman to actively run a major league club. Britton sold the team in 1916. "
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks for the information and for your source. We’ll look into it.

    The caption is misleading. That's Charlie Ebbets on the right.

    I just learned that the "H." in their names stands for "Hercules." Makes you wonder if history would have turned out different if Charlie Sr.'s middle name had been "Ralph."
