Former Major League Baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent died Saturday, Feb. 1, at the age of 86, current commissioner Rob Manfred announced in a statement Sunday afternoon.

Vincent presided over the game following the death of his predecessor, Bart Giamatti, in September of 1989. Vincent held the position for nearly three years before resigning in 1992.

"Fay Vincent played a vital role in ensuring that the 1989 Bay Area World Series resumed responsibly following the earthquake prior to Game Three, and he oversaw the process that resulted in the 1993 National League expansion to Denver and Miami," Manfred said. 

"Mr. Vincent served the game during a time of many challenges, and he remained proud of his association with our National Pastime throughout his life. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my deepest condolences to Fay’s family and friends." Manfred continued.
