Talk:Commissioner of Baseball

message: Perhaps it is worthwhile explaining why Selig was acting commissioner for such a long time?  I would certainly be curious to hear this explanation. - Jord 22:46, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Selig as acting commissioner 

message: "The Black Sox scandal was seen as a failure of the National Commission. The Commission was in some sense baseball's equivalent to the Articles of Confederation: a good start, but ultimately scrapped and replaced with a more powerful and centralized government."
Is this section really important to the topic?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jon Darden (talk • contribs).
That bullshit isn't NPOV. It's an opinion and total garbage taht doesnt have a place on an encyclopedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.42.165 (talk) 07:58, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Articles of Confederation 

message: In this article, there are opinion statements made by one of the contributors.  I do not believe that has a place in any article in Wikipedia, and should be reworded not to sound so opinionated if the statements can be backed up or removed if they cannot be proven.

thread_title:  Opinion Statements 

message: I think the office of president/COO is relevant, as part of the organizational structure of MLB. Should it go in the MLB article?
Suggested text: "President. The second-highest MLB official is the president and chief operating officer (COO). (text of footnote: )

replies: text: The organizational structure of Major League Baseball would indeed fit better in the article on MLB, rather than this one. Isaac Lin (talk) 01:35, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Yes a hierarchy section on the MLB page would be a better fit then squeezing it in with the commissioner.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Millertime246 (talk • contribs) 20:02, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  president & COO 

message: *History of the Commissioner of Major League Baseball --> Commissioner of Baseball
The "history" article has been an orphan since its creation in January 2010. Between the two of these articles, I feel we may have a GA candidate, with work. I see no reason these should be separate. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:31, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: This edit added the question of competitive balance as a challenge for the commissioner's office (although the edit actually first cites a salary cap as a challenge, I believe this is a tool for addressing an issue rather than a challenge in itself). Certainly this is a popular view, and there are specific franchises that are having difficulties in succeeding. However, this has been true throughout MLB history, and given the variety of teams that have made the playoffs over the past couple of decades, and the new playoff structure introduced this year, I don't believe that competitive balance can be stated as a challenge without citations and more critical analysis. Perhaps it would be better to have a section describing the perennial problem of encouraging growth in baseball fandom in all cities, as this is really an ongoing marketing and development issue. isaacl (talk) 22:25, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Challenges 

message: I have started a discussion on the appropriate infobox for this article. Any feedback is welcome. isaacl (talk) 16:23, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox 

message: There's a section that has a title that claims there was a coup by the owners against the Commissioner. Nothing in the section refers to there being a coup. I believe the current section title is POV and should be replaced with a title that reflects the contents of that section. SMP0328. (talk) 05:42, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
