First baseball commissioner (1866–1944). Landis was elected to office on November 12, 1920, and helped restore public confidence in baseball following the Black Sox scandal of 1919. The former US district judge banned eight White Sox players for life, despite their acquittal in a court of law. Landis subsequently issued other edicts utilizing the ‘absolute power’ granted him by the owners to ensure the game’s integrity. Vintage 6 x 5.5 newspaper photo of Landis resting his chin on the edge of his box as he takes in a baseball game, signed in blue ink, “Kenesaw M. Landis.” Photo is affixed to an identical size sheet. A uniform shade of mild toning and just a bit of light signature contrast, otherwise fine condition.
