Heir to White Sox Prefers Pitching Over Presidency
A 13 year old heir, Charles A. Comiskey II, inherits a sixth of the Chicago White Sox. Under his father’s will half the stock goes to Mrs. Comiskey and the rest to his siblings in trusts. Control reverts to the family when Charles turns 21. He says he would rather be a star pitcher than president, aiming to follow his father in baseball.
