National League Office.

Hide Profile

In the wake of the Black Sox scandal and their dissatisfaction with Ban Johnson, the National League wanted to reorganize Major League baseball. A revised agreement with the National Association was drafted as well as a revised National Agreement and rules. The Lasker Plan recommended that baseball's governing authority be reformed, which led to the creation of the Commissioner's office.
