``Giamatti, I don`t have to tell you, he comes from about the only institution in the country as right wing and arrogant as the baseball owners- namely academia, where notions of due process or cause are completely foreign,`` said Miller.
"Like a Pope who died after just a few weeks in office, Giamatti has almost taken on the aura of sainthood; a philosophic scholar who descended on baseball from some higher level — or at least a higher level than most of the newspaper and magazine writers who quoted his pretentious, overripe prose with awe, without bothering to figure out the content of his precious emissions."
