When people think of Bing Crosby, they might think fondly of the classic film White Christmas, or his golden voice. He was arguably one of the most famous and successful entertainers of his era.
He was also a partial owner of both the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Detroit Tigers.
His ownership stake in the Pirates is by far the better know of these two. As recently as 2010 it was found that Crosby — who helped pioneer and popularize making recordings of film — had one of the only recordings of game seven of the 1960 World Series.
