Biography

Bowie Kuhn was the Commissioner of Major League Baseball for three terms from 1969 to

1984. A lawyer by trade, Kuhn oversaw the introduction of free agency, the addition of six clubs, and

World Series games played at night.

Kuhn was born October 28, 1926, a descendant of famous frontiersman Jim Bowie. Kuhn attended

Princeton University and the law school at the University of Virginia. His first position as an attorney

was with the New York City firm of Willkie, Farr and Gallagher, which represented the National

League. As a result he became familiar with the business of baseball, and when the job of Commissioner

became vacant, he was selected for the position by the owners in 1969.

He oversaw the game during a time of great labor conflict, including strikes in 1972, 1976 and 1981. He

intervened a number of times in the affairs of teams, most famously in 1976 by preventing Oakland

Athletics owner Charles Finley from selling off three of his star players, Rollie Fingers, Joe Rudi and

Vida Blue, who were threatening to leave as free agents at the end of the season. He then voided

Finley's trade of Blue to the Cincinnati Reds because the amount of money involved was too large,

whereas the Reds were only giving up untested minor leaguer Dave Revering for the All-Star pitcher.

He mediated the owners' decision to play a split season in 1981. He was the named defendant in the

Flood v. Kuhn suit which was decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1973 and

temporarily upheld the reserve clause. However, baseball's age-old reserve system was upended only

two years later, by arbitrator Peter Seitz's decision in the case of pitchers Andy Messersmith and Dave

McNally which opened the doors for widespread free agency.

In a highly controversial move in 1983, Kuhn banned Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle from associating

with Major League Baseball because they were employed by casinos in the late 1970s. The ban was

lifted in 1985 by his successor, Peter Ueberroth.

In 1999, The Sporting News named Kuhn the 60th most powerful person in sports in the 20th century.

Bowie Kuhn passed away March 15, 2007 in Jacksonville, Florida. He was inducted into the National

Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008.
