Chub Feeney

And now the president of the Dodgers, Peter O'Malley.

Also here to help honor Jackie, the president of the National League, Carl Judge Phoenix.

The very lovely lady standing alongside Jackie is his wife, Rachel.

Next, their daughter, Sharon.

Houston v. Buffalo, 121-113.

Kansas City, Omaha, won its home opener, 113-101 over the Detroit Pistons.

Phoenix beat Portland, 124-120.

And the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Golden State Warriors, 81-77.

1-1.

President of the National League, Chub Feeney, I believe, was delayed here a bit tonight, and I see him in the press box now.

His plane, uh, was delayed.

He was due to arrive in time for the ceremonies, but could not make it.

We placed a call to the White House, and Henry had a very nice, very nice conversation with the president, who of course congratulated him, was so happy for him, and invited him down to Washington, uh, at h- at his convenience, at, uh, at, uh, Henry's convenience.

So Henry was really thrilled with the call.

Well, it's been a big night, capped off by a call from El Presidente.

There's Davey Johnson.

[bat hits ball] So they're complaining about something, and as soon as we find out, we'll pass it on to you.

[audience cheering] Left to right, it's Julian Goodman, NBC, Bowie Kuhn, the commissioner, Gabe Paul, Chub Feeney to the far right, National League president, Warren Giles, Bob Howard, the head on NBC, and Bill Sallee for Gillette.

So there's some kind of a complaint being registered as Foster draws the base on balls, and here is Johnny Bench.

[bat hits ball] Could be a double play.

[ball hitting bat] One and one count to Ralph Garr.

The president of the National League just moved in here, Chub Feeney.

We'll get a space here.

I want to get Chub's comments on what Aaron did here in the fourth inning tonight.

There were no doubt about it when he hit 'em, and I'm very pleased to have seen both of them.

They were, they were just super and a great thrill for, for me and all the fans of America, I'm sure.

Chub Feeney, the president of the National League.

Mike Lum.

Here's the pitch, and it's low for a ball off the glove of Bench and over toward the corner of the Reds dugout.

In the direction of a VIP box where Chub Feeney, the president of the National League, is seated.

Red Flag, the secretary and supervisor of umpires for the National League, and President Emeritus Warren Giles.

All there in one box.

Start your swing earlier.

Just stop bitching about it, 'cause it ain't working." So what did the Mets do with all those scuffed baseballs they collected? They did indeed send them on to National League President Chub Feeney.

Feeney received them, and he examined them, and despite the evidence of doctored baseballs right in front of him, he did nothing.

He even had the temerity to suggest that the baseballs were tampered with after the fact.

Joe Cronin, a great shortstop with the Senators and Red Sox, a Hall of Famer, a manager with the Red Sox.

He won a pennant there, pennant in Washington, general manager with the Red Sox, now president of the American League.

Casey Stengel.

Weather a little warm for Casey today, in his shirtsleeves.

And at the end of four innings of play, the score is Baltimore four and Cincinnati two.

And now down to Tony Kubek.

With me down on the field, the, uh, president of the National League, Mr. Chub Feeney.

Chub, this isn't the National League, uh, team we saw win that pennant over there.

As host of Major League Baseball and Inside Look, Marv Albert has interviewed hundreds of players, managers, celebrities, and other assorted personalities.

What follows are three of his favorites, beginning with a 1986 interview with Whitey Herzog, who along with the late Bart Giamatti, was being suggested at the time as a possible replacement for retiring National League President Chub Feeney.

Whitey, look at it this way, although you may not be looking for a career change, if A, Bartlett Giamatti takes the job to head up the National League, there would be an opening for you at Yale University.

Oh, you're trying to be funny now, Marv.
