RIP Bowie Kuhn (1926-2007)

Former Major Leage Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn died today. Here is the ESPN article about it.

Take a look at the wikipedia entry for information about his life. One person (maybe it was Donald Fehr?) once said of Kuhn, "His ego is his North Star. He follows it wherever it leads." (I googled this briefly and couldn't find who said this.) Some of you may have heard me use a variant of this comment before. In fact, I'm almost positive a couple of you have, although I don't know if you remember it.
