Commissioner Holding Court on the Future of Organized Ball
Baseball Commissioner Ford C. Frick started meeting yesterday with executives from all sixteen Major League ballclubs to get their input and ideas on how to keep both the American and National League competitive for all its ballclubs and not just a few.
The recent dominance of the New York Yankees has created a vacuum that more than half of the league’s teams feel puts them at a continuous competitive disadvantage.
Commissioner Frick told reporters today that he will continue to hold meetings with team executives and ownership groups in the hopes of coming up with some type of guide to help the league move into the future.
The commissioner also mentioned that the proposed move of the St. Louis Browns franchise to Baltimore will be voted on by the fifteen other ownership groups next Monday during a special meeting in New York City.
