Comiskey is the owner of the White Sox. He's known by the players at 'Commie.' He's known for being cheap and not paying his players bonuses, and working out ways to ensure they don't hit their bonuses (he benched Eddie for 2 weeks so he wouldn't have to pay him a $10,000 bonus for winning one more game). When he finds out about the fix he does everything in his power to ensure that the players get off, but he does it so that he is able to continue to sell tickets and make a profit. He's a winer and diner and does his best to keep appearances in public.
