1940s National League Executives: Heydler, Traband, and Segar
This page from the 1946 Official Baseball sports publication features key administrative figures of the National League. John A. Heydler is highlighted as the Chairman of the Board, a position of significant influence in shaping the policies and direction of the league. Heydler's tenure in baseball administration is notable; he had been influential in the adoption of the "foul strike rule" and had witnessed the league's evolution through the early 20th century. Harvey Traband is identified as the Secretary and President of the National League, an important dual role that involved overseeing both the operational and strategic directives of the league during a time when baseball was solidifying its place in American culture post-World War II.
