Need help with a CDV. Baseball Commissioner?
Posted By: Rhys
My guess is that this person was not actually a Baseball "Commissioner". I dont think there was such a thing as a Commissioner in any Baseball League until Landis. I think the person who wrote this identification did so years and years after the fact and was using a term that was in existance in regards to Baseball when the ID was written, but not actually a position which existed between 1890-1902. I could be wrong but I have never seen that term used before 1920 in Baseball, just League Presidents. He could also have been a big guy in a small league and that was just the Family's terms used to remember a relative from long ago. I have searched all my resources and can find nobody with that name so I am thinking the latter is the most likely scenario. More often than not people's opinions and facts about past family members are much exaggerated and usually wrong.
