Frank York

Frank B. York (born about 1878 in Brooklyn, New York died February 2, 1937 in the Bronx, New York) was the President of the Brooklyn Dodgers of Major League Baseball from 1930 to 1932. He was a lawyer, whose representation of brothers Stephen and Ed McKeever led to his being handed the job after internal disagreements among the Dodgers' front office management led to a settlement imposed by the National League and Wilbert Robinson's resignation as president.

York died on February 2, 1937 of pneumonia after a week-long illness at age 59.[1]
