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.

My favorite thing about Kenesaw Mountain Landis is his first and middle name. His father had some limbs blown off at a Civil War battle at Kennesaw Mountain, so he named his son after the battle site. Of course, Kennesaw Mountain has two "n"'s, but Kenesaw Mountain Landis only has one.

The reason I care about this is because I live close to Kennesaw Mountain and have ran on it for like nine years now.

Ueberroth and Giamatti were neither corrupt in incompetent IMO
Both were pretty talented but really didn't do much especially regarding the small market vs big market divide that was going on during their tenure.
