Charley Comiskey Tops Baseball Earnings For 1900 Season
Charley Comiskey will earn more money this season with his Chicago team than any other man in baseball. He built the club from a small Minneapolis minor league operation and his popularity was key before big profits rolled in this year. A Norfolk stranger bought him a 26 cent cigar while Gene De Montreville received congratulatory tokens for his notable Thursday achievement as fans debate whether a team of midgets could beat the Longfellows with a lineup including Dygert, Connie Mack’s battery, and Willie Keeler versus Cy Falkenberg, Bowerman, and Napoleon Lajoie.
