A. Bartlett Giamatti was born on April 4, 1938. He was Yale University's president in 1978-1986 and then National League Baseball president and later Commissioner of Major League Baseball, during which he negotiated Pete Rose's withdrawal from baseball. The actor Paul Giamatti is his son--such a great actor! During a Yale festival of some sort in the early 1980s, I noticed Pres. Giamatti and took his picture while he was chatting with the mayor of New Haven.
