    A U.S. Senator and former governor of Kentucky, Albert “Happy” Chandler succeeded Kenesaw Mountain Landis as commissioner in 1945, guiding Major League Baseball through its historic integration when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947. Though he lasted just one six-year term, Chandler upheld Landis’ model as an authoritarian with honesty and respect, suspending players for leaving for the Mexican League and banning Leo Durocher for one year for a series of actions. Chandler established a now common practice of six umpires on the field for World Series games.
