[1] Comiskey's reputation was permanently tarnished by his team's involvement in the Black Sox Scandal, although he was inducted as an executive into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939.

[3] Comiskey was notoriously stingy (his defenders called him "frugal"), even forcing his players to pay to launder their own uniforms.

[3] Traci Peterson notes that, in an era when professional athletes lacked free agency, the White Sox's formidable players had little choice but to accept Comiskey's substandard wages.

[6] When the scandal broke late in the 1920 season, Comiskey suspended the suspected players, while admitting in the telegram he sent to them that he knew this action cost the White Sox a second straight pennant.

However, he initially defended the accused players and, in an unusual display of largesse, provided them with expensive legal representation.

[3] Indeed, the White Sox promptly tumbled into seventh place and would not be a factor in a pennant race again until 1936, five years after Comiskey's death.

[3] Later he had played a large role in the dissolution of the National Commission, baseball's former governing body, following a quarrel with Ban Johnson.

[7] Dorothy sold controlling interest in the team to Bill Veeck in 1958, but Chuck remained a minority owner until 1962.

[10] When the White Sox moved to a new ballpark in 1991, the Comiskey Park name was retained from their previous home (since 1910); it is now known as Rate Field.
