Baseball remembers Kuhn
Bowie Kuhn, the Major League Baseball Commissioner who presided over the dawn of free agency and the end of the reserve system, died Thursday. He was 80.
Kuhn's 15 years is the second-longest tenure among the nine Commissioners. At 42 years old, he was the youngest man to be elected Commissioner when he replaced Gen. William Eckert on Feb. 4, 1969
