PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Bowie Kuhn, who saw baseball become a business of free agents making multimillion-dollar salaries during 15 tumultuous years as commissioner, died Thursday. He was 80.

Quote:

"I want it to be remembered that I was commissioner during a time of tremendous growth in the popularity of the game," Kuhn said, "and that it was a time in which no one could question the integrity of the game."

Nice smack at Selig, perhaps.

I think I'll go read up on Kuhn -- I'd be interested to gather a consensus of his impact on the game.
