McKeever and his brother Stephen bought half of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team from Henry Medicus on January 2, 1912.
McKeever served as vice-president of the Dodgers until Charles Ebbets died of a heart attack on April 18, 1925.
McKeever became team president,[2] but despite previously being in good health, he caught a cold at Ebbets' funeral and died of influenza a little more than a week later.
He was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Brooklyn.
