Historical Figures

Bill Veeck

Former Owner

1975–1981

Bill Veeck, one of baseball's most colorful and innovative owners, owned the White Sox twice - first from 1959 to 1961 and again from 1975 to 1981. Known for his promotional genius and fan-first philosophy, Veeck staged the infamous Disco Demolition Night in 1979. Financial pressures eventually forced him to sell the team to Jerry Reinsdorf's group.

Charles Comiskey

Founding Owner

1900–1931

Charles Comiskey founded the White Sox as a charter member of the American League in 1900 and built Comiskey Park, the team's home for 80 years. His notoriously low salaries and poor treatment of players were considered contributing factors to the 1919 Black Sox scandal, in which eight players conspired to fix the World Series. The Comiskey family retained ownership until the 1950s.
