Kansas City, Mo. -- The executive director of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City has resigned less than two years after he was hired, museum officials said.

Greg Baker, 62, resigned effective Tuesday, giving no reason for his departure, The Kansas City (Mo.) Star reported.

"We have accepted his resignation," museum board Chairman Pellom McDaniels said in a statement. "The board wishes him well in his future endeavors."

The 20-year-old museum has been a prime tourist attraction for Kansas City, but its financial fortunes have seen ups and down.

A former administrator in the Kansas City Aviation Department, Baker was given the $115,000-a-year museum job on a close 8-to-7 board vote.

For many lenders, chasing the lost funds is an exercise in futility, as legal action often ends up with payments of 10 percent of the loan.

Out of every dollar, "People got 90 cents for free," said Christopher Combs, a real estate lawyer from Phoenix, Ariz.
