Richard Muckerman (April 9, 1897 – March 15, 1959) was a 1912 graduate from Western Military Academy in Alton, Illinois.
The sale of stock that Muckerman bought also helped the team buy the Toledo Mud Hens of the American Association.
[1] Muckerman believed that the product assembled by DeWitt would be a worthy contender for years, despite the fact that the end of World War II would see richer teams such as the New York Yankees see their stars return ready for play.
In the offseason, they would sell three players (one being Vern Stephens) to the Boston Red Sox for a combined $375,000, a move that DeWitt said was done because the banks were reportedly preparing to foreclose on Muckerman and his team.
