Well, considering most commissioners have ranged from incompetent to corrupt to both... yeah. He might be the best of a horrible, horrible lot.

Landis was a racist pig who handed down so many bizarre, capricious rulings it is an open question whether he was merely drunk most of the time or just not paying any attention to the affairs of the league.

F Landis.

He denied people the opportunity to play in the majors based solely on the color of their skin. That's far more morally repugnant than throwing the 1919 Series or using PEDs.

And from an on-field perspective, he denied fans the opportunity to see greats like Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, Buck O'Neill, and Satchel Paige (in his prime).
