Selig, who took over as acting commissioner in 1992 (his official title until 1998 was "Chairman of the Major League Executive Council"), is already the second-longest serving commissioner in history at 20 years, behind only Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis (who served 24 years until his death in 1944). Selig will turn 78 in July; about a week after that he'll pass Landis as the oldest man to serve as commissioner.
