Emil Fuchs (born July 17, 1878 - 1961) was the owner of the Boston Braves from 1923 to 1935. He bought the team, along with Christy Mathewson and James McDonough. His tenure as the Braves owner was marked by severe financial problems, and after Jack Slattery quit as manager, he hired Rogers Hornsby to manage the rest of the 1928 season. But Fuchs needed money to run the team, so he sold Hornsby to the Chicago Cubs, and he managed the team himself for one season, guiding them to a last-place finish. Financial troubles plagued the Braves, and in 1931, the National League cut rosters down from 25 men to 23 to save money, and the Philadelphia Phillies also loaned $35,000 to Fuchs to keep the club afloat. In 1935, he retired from baseball, and he filed for bankruptcy soon after.
