	January 9, 2003 - Breaking Balls: The Last Commissioner, A Baseball Valentine
		Bart Giamatti is a literate and intelligent baseball fan, and I've enjoyed his baseball writing.
		Bart, a Red Sox fan, looks at his team before the season and says "What I expect is that they will show up for this year for all their appointed games." But Vincent doesn't write anything half as witty, or as expressive of his mood.
		Bart offers an insight into why many fans pick ordinary players as their favorite when he talks about his affection for Bobby Doerr over Ted Williams: "I could imagine myself playing second base, but not hitting.400." Vincent, in the course of over 300 pages, doesn't say anything as interesting as something Giamatti tossed off.

	Zero or hero? \| Review \| The Observer
		Giamatti is infamously modest about his position in Hollywood, a self-described 'zeta-male' who joked upon the widely applauded release of Sideways that Jude Law, nevertheless, did not exactly have to watch his back.
		His father, Bart Giamatti, was a professor of Renaissance literature and became the youngest President of Yale University, before being appointed Commissioner of Major League Baseball.
		Giamatti's mother, who would have been the most proud of his recent work, he says, 'only lived to see the crappy stuff'; she died a month before Sideways was released.

		Or rather, the play is about the friendship between A. Bartlett Giamatti, the president of Yale, and Fay Vincent, the president of Columbia Pictures, and their shared love of baseball, a love that takes them from being mere fans of the game to being its custodians.
		Giamatti is offered the presidency of the National League (though the American League would have suited him more as a Red Sox fan), and then the commissioner's chair.
		Rose, whose gambling became the subject of Giamatti's official investigation and threatened sanction, is the serpent in the Edenic greenworld to which Giamatti (a Renaissance Poetry scholar) likened baseball.

		That's not to say that Giamatti did not love the game deeply, but there's something different about the devotion of a man like Rose, who gave so many decades of his life to playing baseball.
		Giamatti would have seen that Rose had done his time in the wilderness.

	American Family Association - AgapePress news
		When the late Bart Giamatti banned Rose from baseball for life, he did so because of a load of evidence that the major leagues' all-time hits leader had placed numerous bets on games, many of which involved the Reds.
		Giamatti had the authority to ban Rose from baseball, and that authority must be respected.
		On the other hand, in courts of law, defendants are often given lighter sentences when pleading guilty and eschewing a trial, where a denial of wrongdoing invites harsher punishment if the evidence of guilt is overwhelming.
