Talk:Bowie Kuhn

message: I believe that Kuhn pointedly did not attend the game where Hank Aaron broke Ruth's record.  This was a clear snub (imagine today's commissioner not being there) and deserves a factual mention in this article.  I don't have time to verify at the moment so I'll leave this in the discussion area. User:70.23.17.42 05:04, 7 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: When Hank Aaron broke Ruth's record

message: It has a section titled "Kuhn's war on drugs," but it doesn't provide convincing evidence that he waged much of a war. It begins by describing Darrell Porter's paranoid belief that Kuhn was out to get him. This can hardly be called evidence of such a war. The Royals let Porter take part of the 1980 season off to get his alcohol and drug problem under control and then let him return. He continued to play past the end of Kuhn's term as commissioner. Next comes an account of Kuhn's decision to issue lifetime passes to the former Iran hostages, which is totally irrelevant. Finally, there's the account of his suspension of four Royals--after they had been arrested. The section on Kuhn's failure to win a third term as commissioner has an unsourced statement attributing this failure to bitterness over the 1981 strike and opposition to Kuhn's supposed war on drugs. You could find support for the former assertion, but not for the latter. Kuhn suspended the four Royals after his attempt to win a third term failed. The Pittsburgh drug trials and the death of Len Bias took place during the term of Peter Ueberroth, Kuhn's successor. He responded by proposing drug tests for players, which is more like a war.Robert O'Rourke (talk) 22:47, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: This article has a drug problem

message: Does anyone have enough information to include the specifics of Kuhn's asset protection plan in a Florida mansion after he filed bankruptcy when his law practice failed?
*I haven't done any checking, but I believe he simply sold his New Jersey home and used the proceeds to buy a home in Florida, which would be protected from his creditors by Florida law.Robert O'Rourke (talk) 02:32, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Asset protection

message: Kuhn ordered Atlanta to play Aaron in at least two of the first three games of the season at Cincinnati. So I don't see how Kuhn can be described as "inadvertently" being in the middle of that situation, when he obviously injected himself into the middle of it.
