Dan Reeves (American football executive)
:''For other people named Dan Reeves, see Dan Reeves (disambiguation)''
Daniel Farrell "Dan" Reeves (June 30, 1912 – April 15, 1971) was the owner of the Cleveland/Los Angeles Rams from 1941 to his death in 1971. Reeves was founder of Dan Reeves Co. Inc., an investment firm, from which he began to build his financial fortune, which would include the Rams' franchise. In addition to the controversial move of the Rams from Cleveland to Los Angeles, Reeves is remembered for being the first NFL owner to sign an African-American player in the post World War II era (halfback Kenny Washington, Woody Strode also signed the same year) and the first to employ a full-time scouting staff.
==Biography==
Reeves was born of Irish American parents, the son of Irish immigrants James Reeves and Rose Farrell. His father and an uncle, Daniel, had risen from fruit peddlers to owners of a grocery-store chain, bringing wealth to the family. A graduate the Newman School in Lakewood, New Jersey, Reeves attended Georgetown University, but left before acquiring his degree. While attending Georgetown, Reeves met, courted and then married the former Mary V. Corroon on October 25, 1935.〔(Daniel Reeves bio at Sports.JRank.org website )〕
Boasting some of football's most glamorous stars, the Rams won four divisional titles in seven years and the NFL championship in 1951. The effect at the gate was astounding. Topped by a crowd of 102,368 for a San Francisco 49ers game in 1957, turnouts in the Los Angeles Coliseum surpassed 80,000 on 22 occasions during the Rams' first two decades in California. Reeves, with friend and business partner Robert Levy, purchased the Rams for US$100,000 in 1941 in Cleveland, Ohio, eventually relocating the franchise to Los Angeles in 1946, fresh off of an NFL Championship season the year before, in 1945.
