Harry Mitchell Grabiner (December 26, 1890 – October 24, 1948) was an American professional baseball executive. A 40-year employee of the Chicago White Sox, he served the team's owners—founding president Charles Comiskey, son and successor J. Louis Comiskey, and Lou’s widow, Grace—in a number of capacities, rising from peanut vendor to club secretary, business manager and vice president. He is often listed as the White Sox' first general manager, with a term lasting from as early as through . After leaving Chicago after the 1945 season, he joined Bill Veeck’s ownership syndicate and became a vice president and minority stockholder with the Cleveland Indians from until his death in .
==Witness to Black Sox Scandal==
As team secretary and top aide to Charles Comiskey, Grabiner was a management eyewitness to the Black Sox Scandal, in which eight White Sox players conspired with gamblers to lose the 1919 World Series.
In 1966, eighteen years after Grabiner’s death, Veeck wrote in his book ''The Hustler’s Handbook'' that he had discovered a diary Grabiner wrote of the 1919 season. In the chapter “Harry’s Diary,” Veeck quotes from Grabiner’s document and writes, “Beyond any doubt, the White Sox front office had more than some inkling of what was going on from the very first game of the 1919 World Series.”〔Nathan, Daniel A., ''Saying It’s So: A Cultural History of the White Sox Scandal.'' Champaign, Ill.: The University of Illinois Press, 2005, page 119〕 Some accounts state that Grabiner warned Comiskey, American League president Ban Johnson and National League president John Heydler of a possible scandal after Game 2 of the Series, but he was ignored.〔(1919blacksox.com )〕
Ironically, after the scandal, Grabiner, who was Jewish, was attacked in print by the Dearborn Independent, owned by industrialist Henry Ford, in anti-Semitic articles that blamed the Jews for both the scandal and the cover-up.〔Levine, Peter, ''Ellis Island to Ebbets Field: Sport and the American Jewish Experience.'' New York: Oxford University Press, 1992, page 107〕
