David Glass is on the board of the Hall of Fame--FYI

David Glass was elected to the Board of Directors in 2000 and serves as a member of its Pension Committee. He was appointed interim chairman and chief executive officer of the Kansas City Royals upon the death of Ewing Kauffman, and in April 2000, his family acquired the Royals organization, where he continues to serve in the same capacity. Glass is also a member of the Executive Council for Major League Baseball. He spent 25 years with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., serving as president and chief executive officer for 12 years, and is credited with leading the company through a period of unprecedented growth and international expansion with annual revenues reaching $165 billion. I laughed upon reading that this man is obviously very much the hierarchy of baseball--I mean, once in a blue moon someone will mention how rich he is but that he won't spend anything on his "family's" team, the Royals. But, he's not just some rich renegade out there--he IS baseball, & we're all fools for not realizing it.
