Landis, Kenesaw Mountain (1866–1944)

US judge and baseball commissioner. He was judge in the fraud trial of the infamous ‘Black Sox’ who conspired with gamblers to deliberately lose the 1919 World Series. Appointed as the first commissioner of major-league baseball in 1921, he established strict standards against players' involvement with betting.

Born in Millville, Ohio, Landis received his law degree in 1891. He was appointed federal district judge in Chicago in 1905 and presided in important antitrust and labor relations cases.
