Major League Baseball (Organization). Office of the Commissioner
Variant namesThe genesis of the Office of the Commissioner of Major League Baseball was in 1921, and nine men have filled the position since then. Francis "Fay" T. Vincent, Jr., was the Commissioner from September 13, 1989, to September 7, 1992. Some of the issues that Vincent faced during his tenure were the repercussions of Pete Rose's lifetime ban from professional baseball, the decision to proceed with the 1989 World Series between San Francisco and Oakland after an earthquake struck the area, the banishment and reinstatement of George Steinbrenner, the potential sale and move of multiple franchises, economic issues of escalating salaries and small market revenues, and the expansion of two National League teams.
