[National League team owners including Gary Herrmann, Charles Ebbets and Mrs. Helene Robison Britton (baseball)] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • 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. "
