By an 18-9-1 vote, owners adopted a resolution stating they had no confidence in Vincent, who was elected to a 4 year term on Sept. 13, 1989. next week "to study the restructuring of the management of major league baseball." The committee is to report to all owners by Nov. 1. "We did not discuss what we're going to do if he's not going to resign," said Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf, a leading Vincent opponent. Vincent, who on Aug. 20 sent the owners a letter saying he would never resign, affirmed his decision after the meeting. He did not attend the special session, but instead remained in New York because he said the purpose of the meeting was unlawful under the Major League Agreement, which governs baseball. It says the commissioner's term can't be shortened, and his power can't be diminished. "I believe strongly that a baseball commissioner should serve a full Following a four-hour meeting at an airport hotel outside Chicago, Toronto- Blue Jays president Paul Beeston, who chaired the special session, read the resolution and declined to take questions. Because the Major League Agreement does not have a mechanism for firing a commissioner, it also was unclear what options were available to disenchanted owners. An attempted outright firing would lead to a court fight that could tie up baseball's administration for a long time. term as contemplated by the Major League Agreement," Vincent said. "Only then can difficult decisions be made impartially and without fear of political repercussions." "The major league clubs do not have confidence in the ability of the present commissioner, Fay Vincent, to carry out the responsibilities of the office of the commissioner, and that under his direction it is impossible for baseball to move forward effectively and constructively," the resolution stated. The anti-Vincent group, by many accounts, is led by Reinsdorf, Bud Selig of the Milwaukee Brewers, Stanton Cook of the Chicago Cubs and Peter O'Malley of the Los Angeles Dodgers. According to the resolution, those clubs opposing the commissioner would not vote in favor of Vincent's re-election if it is proposed next year. "It is) further resolved, that commissioner Fay Vincent be requested to resign effective immediately and that the commissioner be offered in the event of his immediate resignation a severance agreement consistent with his employment agreement Dec. 13, 1989," the resolution stated. Jackie Autry of the California Angels said, "The only thing for certain is that 18 people want to get rid of the commissioner." The resolution, drafted by lawyers for the American and National leagues, was introduced by Douglas Danforth of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The vote was taken by secret ballot, but several owners and officials identified the Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, Florida Marines, Montreal Expos, New York Mets, Oakland Athletes and Texas Rangers as the nine teams that spoke against it. Vincent's opponents were quiet entering the meeting, but Texas Rangers owner George Bush, the president's son, defended the commissioner. I got going to stand up and tell the owners he's a friend of mine since the oil fields of Texas, and he's not going to leave," Bush said before the meeting. The owners said their executive council would appoint a committee “Doesn't the board of directors fire his chairman or its president if it's not satisfied that the chairman or the president is (not) doing what the board of directors wants done?” Reindorf asked. The owners against Vincent are unhappy the way he handled contract negotiations in 1990, his attempted realignment of the National League this summer and his handling of the Steve Howe drug suspension.
