When former Major League Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn died earlier today, the Christian campaign to rebuild a culture of life in America lost a principled and persuasive leader.It will not be mentioned in most of the MSM's summations of Bowie's life that he was an outspoken champion of the sanctity of human life, a courageous defender of the family, and a joyful, obedient adherent of the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
One of the most engaging and well-spoken pro-life advocates I ever had the privilege of hearing was Bowie Kuhn, a man whose impact on culture went way beyond baseball.
Bowie Kuhn was a graduate of Princeton University with a law degree from the University of Virginia. He has been a board member of Christendom College, New York Medical College, the Ave Maria Foundation, Thomas Aquinas College, Franklin & Marshall College, the Jackie Robinson Foundation, and the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. He also served as an advisory board member of the Thomas More Law Center.
