Harry Clay Pulliam (February 9, 1869 – July 29, 1909) was an American baseball executive who served as the sixth President of the National League, from 1903 until his death (see New York Times obit [1]), in the period in which the NL and the fledgling American League settled their hostilities and formed a National Agreement which led to the creation of the World Series. He was born in Scottsburg, Kentucky. Baseball was halted in both the American and National Leagues for the first time in baseball history on the day he was buried. He received his law degree from the University of Virginia. A special baseball card was created in his honor and distributed at the World Series. He was the first person honored by baseball with all players wearing arm bands for 30 days.
