About the League Presidents
Topps reserved its prime zero-ending slots for stars, and as Sy Berger told Sports Collectors Digest, he bumped Bob Keegan to No. 99 at the last minute so baseball's two league presidents could claim No. 100. Will Harridge, a onetime railroad ticket clerk, became Ban Johnson's personal secretary in 1911 and rose to American League president in 1931, serving until his December 1958 retirement; he championed the first All-Star Game at Comiskey Park in 1933 and voided Eddie Gaedel's contract after Bill Veeck's 1951 stunt. Warren Giles ran the Cincinnati Reds' front office from 1936, adding the club presidency in 1947, then succeeded Ford Frick as National League president in 1951. Over 18 years he approved the Braves' move to Milwaukee, sent the Dodgers and Giants west in 1958, and expanded the league to twelve teams. Both reached Cooperstown via the Veterans Committee — Harridge in 1972, Giles in 1979, shortly after his death.
