Reisinger (1891–1964), from New York City, was a principal patron of contract bridge and the American Contract Bridge League in the early years of both; he was a great-grandson of Anheuser and a grandson of Busch, co-founders of the brewery from which he inherited great wealth.
That wealth enabled him to become a stalwart financial supporter of the game, as well as a noted philanthropist on a larger scale.
Numerous champion teams have defended their titles successfully without change in personnel (intact).
It also won four Spingolds from 1993 to 1996 intact (another unique string) and the 1995 world championship Bermuda Bowl representing the United States.
