Elizabeth joins the podcast to discuss her newest book chapter about Bowie Kent Kuhn, the Major League Baseball Commissioner from 1969 to 1984 and licensed attorney, published in Attorneys in the Baseball Hall of Fame from Mcfarland Publishing. In the chapter, Elizabeth examines the arc of Bowie Kuhn’s career from an attorney who worked on sports cases to his ascendance to the MLB commissioner. During his time as commissioner, a number of changes and challenges arose and Elizabeth’s chapter examines how Kuhn approached these issues, as well as the controversial resumption of his legal career following his tenure at baseball commissioner. Elizabeth’s chapter highlights just one excellent example of the impact of legal-trained professionals outside the courtroom. In this case, it was on the baseball diamond.
