Francis Thomas "Fay" Vincent, Jr. (born May 29, 1938) is a former entertainment lawyer and sports executive who served as the eighth Commissioner of Major League Baseball from September 13, 1989 to September 7, 1992.
==Early life and career==
Vincent is a graduate of The Hotchkiss School.〔Cohn, Roger. ("Nothing But Curve Balls" ), ''The New York Times'', June 3, 1990. Accessed December 18, 2007. "At the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Conn., young Fay played guard on the football team, excelled at Latin and French and was remembered by classmates for his witty parodies of the poetry of Keats and Coleridge."〕 An exceptional athlete who showed talent in track and field and football, he attended Williams College on a full academic scholarship. However, a near-fatal accident there left him with a crushed spine and paralyzed legs. He had been locked inside his dorm room as a prank; climbing onto the roof to escape he slipped off a four-story ledge. Surgery and three months in traction followed.〔 He overcame an initial diagnosis he would never walk again, but his leg never fully recovered and he has since relied on a cane.
After graduating from Williams (class of 1960) with honors he attended Yale Law School (class of 1963). He went on to become a partner in the Washington, D.C. law firm of Caplin & Drysdale. He also served as Associate Director of the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Beginning in 1978 he became the chairman of Columbia Pictures, and vice chairman of Coca-Cola starting in March 1982. In April 1986 he was promoted to Executive Vice President in charge of the company's farflung entertainment activities.
