Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston
Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston (July 17, 1867 – March 29, 1938), popularly known as Cap Huston, was co-owner of the Major League Baseball team that became the New York Yankees with Jacob Ruppert from 1915 to 1922. They had purchased the club from Frank J. Farrell and William S. Devery. In 1922, Huston retired and sold his share to Ruppert for $1.50 million.〔Note that the Yankee website uses the number $1.25 million for the "purchase" by Huston. The obituary for Farrell reports the figure as $460,000. Huston ''sold'' the franchise for $1.25 million. The Yankee archivist has been contacted about the error on June 18, 2007.〕

In August 1917, Huston arrived in France, and became commander of 16th Regiment of Engineers in spring of 1918 with rank of Lt. Colonel. Huston died on March 29, 1938, in Darien, Georgia at the age of 70. Boston lawyer Preston Wentworth Leonard, and agricultural entrepreneur Richard Huston Leonard, a graduate of Georgetown University and Columbia University, are among Huston's surviving relatives.
