Case Summary:
Major League Baseball is one of the oldest sports leagues in the U.S. Commissioner BS was a commissioner from 1998 to 2015. He took control of all the activities related to the sports league like the official website, statistics, schedules, etc. He hired B, who was given autonomy to run MLABAM. He gave maximum profit to the league. It generates hundreds of millions of dollars annually. The sport became the envy of all the sports. Although B gave millions of profits, he conducted bad behavior towards his fellow mates. He used to party and engaged them in alcoholic habits, he was having sexual affairs with colleagues. He misconducted everyone. All his behavior was ignored as he gave profit and business to the league. Later, complaints were done against him, and was accused of misconduct. He apologized for the behavior and left the league.

Whether BS was to be inducted into Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016 or not.
