Mitchell eyed as next baseball commissioner
Washington reports that Senate majority leader George Mitchell, after ruling out the Supreme Court, becomes the favorite to be baseball commissioner. He noted he would consider the offer if made, citing his service to President Clinton and the absence of a commissioner since Fay Vincent’s 1992 resignation. The role could help owners counter Senator Metzenbaum’s antitrust efforts.
