History Lesson

The Hardball Times recognizes the 40th anniversary of one of the worst commissioner decisions in baseball, Bowie Kuhn nixing Charlie Finley selling off the players on his team:

Perhaps the lesson of the Finley-Kuhn feud is that egomania comes in many packages. Sometimes it is flamboyant, colorful and cantankerous. Other times it is stolid, bloodless and methodical.

It’s high time the commissioner’s office repudiates that decision and allows teams to sell the contracts of players without limit.
