There have been nine Commissioners of Major League Baseball. The first, Kenesaw Mountain Landis - I wish to God I was making that name up - was appointed in 1920 as a response to the Black Sox scandal of the 1919 World Series. Landis served until 1944, when he was replaced by A.B. Chandler, Sr., who was replaced in 1951 by Ford Frick. He was followed by William Eckert (1965-68), Bowie Kuhn (69-84), Peter Ueberroth (84-89), Bart Giamatti (April 89 - September 89), and Fay Vincent (89-92). Vincent resigned in September 1992, having lost the confidence of the majority of MLB team owners, and Bud Selig was appointed acting Commissioner. Technically there was no Commissioner until Selig was appointed to the position nearly six years later, in July 1998.
