Since Happy Chandler, no commissioner has been elected to the Hall of Fame. Kuhn is getting another shot at it this year, as the Veterans Committee takes a close look again at executives, who for the 1st time are on a separate ballot. Of the twenty-three executives that were inducted in the Hall, only Commissioners Kenesaw Mountain Landis and Chandler are among that number. Bowie Kuhn, who passed away at eighty this past March 15, was the 5th Commissioner. His tenure spanned fifteen years, the most tumultuous period economically in the MLB history.
