Executive summary: Baseball Commissioner, 1989 Briefly the Commissioner of Baseball, Bart Giamatti suffered from a hereditary neuromuscular disorder, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, that causes nerves to the extremities to slowly degenerate. In many cases, the symptoms of CMT are so mild it never becomes a serious problem, but in severe cases patients eventually lose normal use of their limbs, hands, and feet. There is no known cure, and a 50/50 genetic chance of inheriting the disease if a parent has it.
