	Ford C. Frick (1951-1965)
		One of Frick's first acts as NL President was an enthusiastic endorsement of the proposed National Baseball Museum and a suggestion to include a Hall of Fame to honor the game's greats.
		Frick, who once was a ghost writer for Babe Ruth, did not want to see the Bambino's record fall, and with an expanded schedule made up a rule stating that Maris needed to break the record in 154 games.
		The Ford C. Frick Award would go on to be given annually granting the honoree induction into the broadcaster wing of the Hall of Fame.

		It was fitting that the ultimate tribute to Ford Frick was his election to the Hall of Fame.
		Much-derided for his controversial decision to attach an asterisk to Roger Maris's record 61 HR in the new 162-game season in 1961 (Frick had been Babe Ruth's ghostwriter), he saw his resourceful administration and gentle guidance of the owners away from their instinct for self-destruction overshadowed by the asterisk issue.
		In Frick's wake have come General Eckert, Bowie Kuhn, and Peter Ueberroth, and a trend toward baseball as a billion-dollar business perhaps too willing to shed its old values, values the traditionalist Frick revered.
