- Ed McKeever (baseball owner)
Edward J. McKeever (March 19, 1859 in Brooklyn, New York – May 27, 1925) was a construction contractor in Brooklyn, New York in the early 1900s. Ed and his brother Stephen bought half of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team from Henry Medicus on January 2, 1912. Together with co-owner Charles Ebbets they built what became Ebbets Field. Ed served as Vice-President of the Dodgers until Charles Ebbets died of a heart attack on April 18, 1925. Ed was appointed team President, but he caught a cold at Ebbetts funeral and was dead himself within a week.
