Milwaukee Journal, November 25, 1944: Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner of baseball since 1921, died at St. Luke’s hospital Saturday morning at 5:35. He was 78 years old.
...
Landis, a gruff speaking old man with shaggy white hair, battered hat and keen wit, became a legend in his lifetime. He was noted for his fairness and as a man who always gave the underdog a break.
Unless they had too much melanin. In which case they were screwed.
In all seriousness, though, the linked article is an excellent obituary.

Some sources list Freddy Parent's birthday as November 25, some list it as November 11. Parent would start ahead of Dent if eligible for today's team.
Spare me your medical mumbo-jumbo, Doc.
See picture of Adm. Halsey and Harold Stassen where the reader is instructed to note that Halsey wears shorts.
Diamond Mind, Whatif Sports, something else?
If you're more into being the General Manager, then OOTP is probably a better choice.
