After reading Donald Gropman's book, I can't help but lament how things went down with Happy Chandler. He seemed the most level-headed of all commissioners, with the least amount of axes to grind. His take on Shoeless Joe should have garnered greater consideration from later commissioners, as from Giamati onwards, these men have taken the path of least resistance, claiming largely that it is too old to dig up something decided upon so long ago.
What a bunch of wimps.
