Frank J. Farrell (c. 1866 – February 10, 1926) was an American baseball executive. He and William S. Devery were the first owners of the New York Highlanders (now New York Yankees). They purchased the Baltimore Orioles on January 9, 1903 for $18,000 and moved it to New York City. ==Biography== He was born around 1866. Farrell was involved in New York City gambling, and owned pool halls and a casino. At one time he was the partner of William Burbridge. In 1912 he fired Harry Wolverton as the manager of the Yankees. On January 29, 1915 Farrell and Devery sold the Yankees to Jacob Ruppert and Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston for $460,000.〔Note that the Yankee website uses the number $1.25 million, while the obituary for Farrell reports $460,000. The Yankee archivist has been contacted about the discrepancy on June 18, 2007.〕 Farrell died in Atlantic City, New Jersey, of a heart attack, after recovering from a bout of bronchitis.
