So a commissioner that volunteered his team to move from the AL to the NL to take advantage of the Cubs fan base, then made the Astros move from the NL to the AL to create a huge hole in the south for NL fans is doing great things for the sport?
Also, I may be very selfish, but I went from watch every Cubs game on WGN as a kid, to listening to most games on WGN radio over the internet and watching some on WGN TV, to being forced to pay for internet streaming, and fewer and fewer games on WGN each year. There's a reason the Cubs have a nation wide fan base, and that fan base is shrinking every year.

I don't give him any credit for the revenue increases. Revenues in almost every sport have increased at the same rate thanks to TV revenue and corporate ticket sales. Other than steroids and the strike, his long-term legacy will be the erosion of the under-40 fan base.
