Judge Landis and 25 Years of Baseball: The Story of America's First Commissioner of Baseball

Judge Landis and 25 Years of Baseball, first published in 1947, is a look at the career of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, a federal judge and professional baseball's first commissioner, who served in that position for 25 years until his death in 1944. The book, authored by J. G. Taylor Spink, editor of the influential The Sporting News, also serves as a history of major league baseball at that time â€“ the team owners, the players, the legal battles, and the scandals (including the infamous â€œBlack Soxâ€ scandal). Judge Landis's decisive actions and iron rule over the game were largely responsible for restoring public confidence in the sport. Included are 5 pages of photographs.
