[edit] Biographical Information
Abraham Mills was the third president of the National League from 1883 to 1884 and was the author of the first National Agreement. He was the President of the Mills Commission, set up to look into the origins of baseball, and which concluded in 1908, on the basis of very flimsy evidence, that Abner Doubleday had invented the game in Cooperstown, NY in 1839, a theory which has been completely debunked since.
