Ten years ago last week, Don Garber was named commissioner of Major League Soccer.
Ten years ago Tuesday, not many believed Garber -- who admittedly knew little about the sport -- would last long in the MLS.
But today, 10 years later, Garber not only has lasted, he's flourished as MLS commissioner.
"It's been a great 10 years," said Garber, who was previously involved in the National Football League. "I don't think I expected the sport of soccer would be where it is today in America when I started in 1999.
"The owners took a big risk on me because I didn't come from the sport. There wasn't a guarantee I would be fully devoted to it. Now I realize it is the greatest sport in the world, the greatest sport in the region."
