Fay Vincent, the former Major League Baseball (MLB) commissioner who took over after Bart Giamatti's sudden death, has passed away at 86 due to bladder cancer.
Vincent is known for his role in the Pete Rose gambling scandal, halting the 1989 World Series due to the deadly earthquake in the Bay Area, and suspending Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.
His tenure as commissioner saw many challenges, including the owners' lockout in 1990 and collusion among teams against free agents following the 1985, '86, and '87 seasons.
Despite these challenges, Vincent remained proud of his association with the national pastime, leaving a lasting impact on the game.
