Happy Chandler (July 14, 1898 – June 15, 1991) was the
44th governor of Kentucky (1935–1939), a member of the
U.S. Senate , the
commissioner of baseball , and the 49th governor of Kentucky (1955–1959). In his first term as governor, he oversaw the repeal of the sales tax, replacing the lost revenue with new
excise taxes and the state's first
income tax , and helped improve the state's education and transportation systems. He resigned as governor so his successor could appoint him to the Senate. A

Pacific War . In 1945, he resigned his Senate seat to become the commissioner of baseball, succeeding
Kenesaw Mountain Landis . He approved
Jackie Robinson 's contract with the
Brooklyn Dodgers , initiating the
