Eddie Einhorn, who went from being a vendor at Comiskey Park to part owner of the White Sox, died Wednesday in Alpine, New Jersey. He was 80.
His wife, Ann, told NorthJersey.com that the cause of death was complications from a stroke.
Though he hasn’t been involved in the team’s day-to-day operations for several years, Einhorn is still listed as the Sox’ vice chairman.
In 1981, he joined with former law school classmate Jerry Reinsdorf in buying a controlling interest in the White Sox. He is known as the architect of baseball’s first billion-dollar television contract.
