COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Lee MacPhail, the former American League president who followed his father into baseball's Hall of Fame and whose son became a top executive for several major league teams, has died at 95. He was the oldest Hall of Famer, and he died Thursday night at his home in Delray Beach, Fla. , the Hall of Fame said Friday. "There's not much I haven't done off the field other than commissioner," he said during a 1985 interview with The Associated Press when he retired after 4 1-2 decades in the sport. In the second generation of one of baseball's most famous families — and part of the only father-son Hall of Fame pairing — MacPhail's most well-known moment in baseball came in 1983.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
