Chris von der Ahe
Christian Friedrich (or Frederick) Wilhelm von der Ahe (October 7, 1851 – June 5, 1913) was a German-American entrepreneur, best known as the owner of the St. Louis Brown Stockings of the American Association, now known as the St. Louis Cardinals.
Von der Ahe arrived in New York City but quickly moved to St. Louis, where he worked as a clerk in a grocery store.
Later, he bought out the store owner and expanded business by establishing a saloon in the back of the store.
Von der Ahe noticed that a number of his patrons visited the saloon after baseball games, so in 1882, he bought the bankrupt and scandal-ridden St. Louis Brown Stockings baseball franchise for $1,800 and joined the American Association baseball league.
He named the team the Browns and hired future Chicago White Sox owner Charles Comiskey to play first base and eventually manage the team.
Von der Ahe took a very active role in the team, even though he knew almost nothing about baseball.
Other than player/manager/owner Albert Spalding,
Von der Ahe was the first baseball owner with a significant public persona, the predecessor of Bill Veeck, Charlie Finley and George Steinbrenner in this regard.
With his thick German accent ("I am der poss bresident of der Prowns!") bushy mustache and showmanship, he was as much of a story as his players.
The Browns dominated the American Association, winning four straight league championships starting in 1885, and the baseball, beer, and other investments made von der Ahe wealthy.
He made $500,000 off the baseball team alone.
He set the ticket price at 25 cents, hoping fans would spend money on beer.
As a result, the Browns led the league in attendance and soon had to expand his ballpark.
The term "fan" (from fanatic) is sometimes attributed to von der Ahe.
In 1885, von der Ahe erected a larger-than-life statue outside of Sportsman's Park, not of any of his star players, but of himself.
A sportswriter from Denver mockingly dubbed the statue "Von der Ahe discovers Illinois."
Although eccentric, von der Ahe made a number of innovations, including operating a farm club called the St. Louis Whites.
Also, tradition holds that von der Ahe was the first to sell hot dogs at the ballpark, although some historians dispute this.
Von der Ahe billed himself as the "Millionaire Sportsman".
In 1887, after a poor showing in the World Series, the ill-tempered von der Ahe threatened to withhold his players' share of the earnings.
In 1891, he was also majority owner of the Cincinnati Kelly's Killers which played for part of one season in the American Association.
In 1892 the team joined the National League after the American Association folded.
By this time, Comiskey had lost patience with von der Ahe and left for the Cincinnati Reds.
Without Comiskey, the Browns quickly became a last-place team.
Legal problems plagued von der Ahe's ownership, especially in the later years.
In an effort to recoup his losses, in 1892 he moved to a larger ballpark, which he surrounded with an amusement park, complete with beer garden, a horse track in the outfield, a "shoot-the-shoots" water flume ride, and an artificial lake (used for ice skating in winter).
The league, which prohibited gambling on its grounds, disapproved of the race track; so did von der Ahe's outfielders.
The press called the facility "Coney Island West" and nicknamed von der Ahe "Von der Ha Ha."
With losses still piling up, von der Ahe resorted to selling off his best players, mostly to Brooklyn.
In 1898, part of the ballpark burned down during an April game with Chicago; his second wife divorced him; and his bondsman kidnapped him for not paying his debts.
In a highly publicized trial connected with the fire, von der Ahe lost his baseball team.
The Browns changed hands twice and changed their name twice, first to the Perfectos (1899) and then to the Cardinals (1900).
The American League team known as the St. Louis Browns from 1902 to 1953 had no connection to von der Ahe's team aside from the name, which was designed to invoke the memory of the 1885–1889 era.
Von der Ahe soon lost his other wealth as well and was reduced to tending bar in a small saloon.
Comiskey frequently sent von der Ahe money to help make ends meet.
In April 1908, the St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Browns played each other in a benefit game for him.
The club raised $4,300.
He died of cirrhosis of the liver in 1913.
He was buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis, with the statue that once stood in front of Sportsman's Park adorning his grave.
In 2015 Von der Ahe was named to the Pre-Integration Committee ballot for the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

After the death of her father in 1727, she lived mainly with her mother at Kendal House in Isleworth.
In Isleworth, Middlesex, on 5 September 1733 she married Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, a leading Whig politician.
The couple had no children, but it is said that "family letters" suggest that Melusina may have been the mother, through an intimacy with Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore, of Benedict Swingate Calvert.
Calvert was born in England in around 1730-32, the illegitimate son of Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore.
His mother's identity is otherwise unknown.

He was a grandson of bishop Jacob von der Lippe and a son of dean Johan Nordahl Brun von der Lippe( 1838 – 1915).
Through his uncle Conrad Fredrik von der Lippe he was a first cousin once removed of Frits von der Lippe, Just Lippe and Jens von der Lippe.
He had the same father, and was thus a half- brother, of Anton Barth von der Lippe.
On 13 October 1916 von der Lippe was made the first regular director of the Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service, after the service was permanently organized and sorted under the Royal Norwegian Navy's shooting and signals school, which von der Lippe was the head of.

Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, (22 September 169424 March 1773) was a British statesman, diplomat, man of letters, and an acclaimed wit of his time.
He was born in London to Philip Stanhope, 3rd Earl of Chesterfield, and Lady Elizabeth Savile, and known as Lord Stanhope until the death of his father, in 1726.
Following the death of his mother in 1708, Stanhope was raised mainly by his grandmother, the Marchioness of Halifax.
Educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, he left just over a year into his studies, after focusing on languages and oration.
He subsequently embarked on the Grand Tour of the Continent, to complete his education as a nobleman, by exposure to the cultural legacies of Classical antiquity and the Renaissance, and to become acquainted with his aristocratic counterparts and the polite society of Continental Europe.
In the course of his post-graduate tour of Europe, the death of Queen Anne (r. 1702–1714) and the accession of King George I (r. 1714–1727) to the throne opened a political career for Stanhope, and he quickly returned to England.
A member of the Whig party, Phillip Stanhope entered government service as a courtier to the King, through the mentorship of his relative, James Stanhope, (later 1st Earl Stanhope), the King's favourite minister, who procured his appointment as Lord of the Bedchamber to the Prince of Wales, George II.
Benedict Swingate Calvert
Benedict Swingate Calvert( January 27, 1722 – January 9, 1788) was a planter, politician and a Loyalist in Maryland during the American Revolution.
He was the son of Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore, the third Proprietor Governor of Maryland( 1699 – 1751), and may have been the grandson of King George I of Great Britain.
His mother's identity is not known, though one source suggests Melusina von der Schulenburg, Countess of Walsingham, an illegitimate daughter of the King.
He was certainly a descendant of Charles II through Charlotte Lee, Countess of Lichfield, the daughter of Barbara Palmer, Duchess of Cleveland, one of the king's mistresses.
As he was illegitimate, he was not able to inherit his father's title or estates, which passed instead to his half brother Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore( 1731 – 1771).
Benedict Calvert spent most of his life as a politician and planter in Maryland, though Frederick, by contrast, never visited the colony.
Calvert became wealthy through proprietarial patronage and became an important colonial official, but he would lose his offices and his political power, though not his land and wealth, during the American Revolution.
