Bart Giamatti on Law and Baseball

Terrific post by Professor Rick Duncan on Only Baseball Matters regarding the late A. Bartlett Giamatti and his belief that baseball and the law have much in common. Giamatti served briefly as MLB Commissioner in 1989, but died shortly after being named to the post. He also served as president of the National League from 1986 to 1989, and president of Yale University from 1977 to 1986. Amazingly, he was named president of Yale at the age of 39. Quite a life indeed. It's just too bad that he wasn't alive to have seen his son, Paul, become such a movie star.
