Kenesaw Mountain Landis left a profound and lasting mark on baseball as the sport’s first Commissioner, guiding the game through one of its most turbulent eras. Appointed in 1920 following the Black Sox Scandal, Landis restored public trust in Major League Baseball through firm, uncompromising leadership, most notably by issuing lifetime bans to the eight players involved in the scandal. His strict approach helped stabilize the sport and set the foundation for the modern authority of the commissioner’s office. Landis oversaw baseball’s rise in popularity during the 1920s and early ’30s, presiding over the careers of legends like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Though his tenure is also criticized for maintaining baseball’s segregated status, his impact on shaping the governance and integrity of the sport remains significant. Landis’s legacy is that of a powerful, transformative figure who steered baseball into a new era of credibility and structure.

The note includes an official Beckett Authentication Services hologram and matching LOA for authenticity purposes.
