Harridge was president of the American League, one of the two major leagues of American baseball, from 1931 to 1959. He was known for all of his hard work, which included carrying the bags of the rich and famous, pushing the American League to play in an annual All-Star game, and showing midgets the door - a door they've never tried to reopen ("If only Jackie Robinson had been a midget...." Harridge told his barber). Will Harridge, a stately and full-on gentleman, sat around for literally decades at a time making the hard decisions which grey the hair and crinkle the neck of most chief executives.

abstract	Harridge was president of the American League, one of the two major leagues of American baseball, from 1931 to 1959. He was known for all of his hard work, which included carrying the bags of the rich and famous, pushing the American League to play in an annual All-Star game, and showing midgets the door - a door they've never tried to reopen ("If only Jackie Robinson had been a midget...." Harridge told his barber). Will Harridge, a stately and full-on gentleman, sat around for literally decades at a time making the hard decisions which grey the hair and crinkle the neck of most chief executives. On the other hand - and there's always an other hand - Will Harridge is equally not known, but should be honored as a saint, a literal saint whose relics get passed down through generations of sports history fans, aficionados of irony, and/or ever-trusting eBay customers, for distributing a large percentage of the signatures on the documents and letters contained in the American League archives to autograph collectors (see below). For all of these things, except for the autograph flyover (historians agree it would be a hoot to find out when they caught on to it over at the New York office), Harridge was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972, just in time for him to be dead.
