Comiskey reentered baseball in 1900 as the first owner of the Chicago White Sox and a partial founder of the American League. As owner of the White Sox from 1900 until his death in 1931, Comiskey oversaw the building of Comiskey Park in 1910 and five American League championships. However, Comiskey's unpopularity with his players is seen as a factor in the Black Sox scandal, in which players conspired to throw the 1919 World Series. Comiskey was notoriously frugal, even forcing his players to pay to launder their own uniforms. Interstingly, it was the inevitably filthy uniforms that actually led to the team being known as the "Black Sox"; the nickname existed well before the gambling scandal.
