James Mulvey

James Ausley Mulvey (April 23, 1899 – December 3, 1973) was an American motion picture industry executive and a co-owner of the Brooklyn / Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball from until his death. He derived his stake in the Dodgers from his marriage to Marie "Dearie" McKeever, daughter of one of the franchise's longtime co-owners. Together, the Mulveys controlled their 25 percent share of the team until Dearie's death in November 1968; James and their heirs continued as co-owners until selling their stock in 1975.

James Mulvey was born in Yorkville, Manhattan, and attended All Saints Parochial School in Harlem. Originally an accountant, he at one point served as president of Samuel Goldwyn Productions, for which he worked from 1923 until his retirement in 1960. Mulvey also served a term as president of the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers. His survivors included son-in-law Ralph Branca, the former Brooklyn Dodgers' pitcher.

O'Malley purchased the Mulvey family heirs' 25 percent interest in the team in 1975 to become sole owner. The Mulveys' 37-year involvement in their ownership saw the Dodgers win 12 National League pennants and the first four World Series championships in team history.
