Many years ago my best friend married a woman in East Hampton, New York. It is a remarkable event, a wedding in the Hamptons. This event was made more memorable by the fact that the bride was the niece of Commissioner Bowie Kuhn. Growing up, Commissioner Kuhn was synonymous with baseball. He had just retired as Commissioner and I remember sitting at the bar of the Palm (which was the coffee shop of the hotel the rehearsal dinner was taking place at). We were watching a National League playoff game with the Cubs. I asked him what it was like to be able to root for a team now. He smiled and said it was made all the better by the fact that the Cubs were in the playoffs. Commissioner Kuhn died today. He had his good moments and his bad. For me, he made a memorable event more memorable.
