If not Landis, who else? Teddy Roosevelt good? (if earlier)

[Bill Burgess]

My Candidates for Commissioner:

1. Branch Rickey, 1881-1965
2. Connie Mack, 1862-1956
3. Taylor Spink, 1888-1962
4. Grantland Rice, 1880-1954
5. Francis Richter, 1854-1926
6. John B. Foster, 1863-1941
7. Sam Crane, 1854-1925
8. Louis Mencken, 1880-1956
9. Monte Ward, 1860-1925
10. Ferdinand C. Lane, 1885-1984

The main things I look for are a sterling integrity and common sense.

Looking through this thread, it looks odd to me that on hand people are talking about integrating baseball earlier than 1947 (which is probably a huge pipe-dream at best) and on the other they are talking about southerners as commissioner, or owners like Connie Mack who never seemed to have any inclanation to integrate.
