Michael GottGUEST
And it's such a beautiful book.
Michael GottGUEST
And this is a former commissioner of baseball, Francis T. Vincent.
Michael GottGUEST
He said this, baseball teaches us, or has taught most of us, how to deal with failure.
Michael GottGUEST
We learn at a very young age that failure is the norm in baseball.
Gail GardnerHOST
Has that chain been broken at all? Have we made any inroads?
Harry EdwardsGUEST
I think we've made substantial inroads under Petey Uberoff and Barja Mahdi, and most certainly it will be the case under Faye Vincent.
Harry EdwardsGUEST
Changes are taking place.
Harry EdwardsGUEST
We have not eliminated the old boys network, but we most certainly have made some inroads into it and gotten some more people around the table.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Before the game tonight, you'll hear from the Commissioner of Baseball, the mayors of San Francisco and Oakland, and the managers of the two teams.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Right now, to Gary Thorne with Faye Vincent.
Gary ThorneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Gary ThorneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Commissioner, the winds of fate in the past six months have certainly found you.
David SamsonHOST
How many commissioners have there been, Coca? Either every one of them gets in the Hall of Fame or none of them get into the Hall of Fame plaque room.
David SamsonHOST
How are we differentiating? Because Fay Vincent got fired, which terrible.
David SamsonHOST
Bart Giamatti was only there for a year before he tragically died way too young of a heart attack.
David SamsonHOST
How are we making that distinction? Well, people inside the industry understand very well how it is that the distinction gets made and what pressure is put to bear for who's put into the Hall of Fame, when, where, and how.
Wendy Selig-PriebGUEST
And so that's really where my focus was.
Wendy Selig-PriebGUEST
And a couple of years after joining the team, 1992, Major League Baseball made a commissioner change and Faye Vincent left.
Wendy Selig-PriebGUEST
and baseball decided not to move forward on a commissioner search immediately because we were just about to enter into labor relations.
Wendy Selig-PriebGUEST
And for people who follow sports, you would know that you wouldn't want to have a change in leadership as you were just positioning to that.

Look at the company Clark is going to keep here.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He winds up nearly in the lap of the commissioner, Faye Vincent, right there.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Mr.
Al MichaelsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Commissioner, what do you think? Is it a catch or no catch? And then Willie Mays, subsequent to that, comes over to help Clark get back out of the box as Matt Williams leads off in the bottom of the eighth inning.
