Judge Landis Legacy Shapes Baseball’s Integrity
Death of Kenesaw M. Landis, longtime baseball commissioner, sparks reflection in eastern Iowa. The Cedar Rapids case of 1938 freed ~100 players from Cards and exposed owner manipulation, highlighting Landis as a steadfast defender of player rights and baseball law. Landis’s bold actions and prior rulings, including a $29 million Standard Oil fining and Haywood’s 20 year sentence, cemented his image as Mr Baseball. Officials in Buffalo and Chicago plan next month’s meetings to consider successors and a three member ruling committee headed by Harridge, Frick, and O’Connor.
