Via Deadspin: ”As an owner, as a member of the Player Relations Committee, as head of the Executive Council, as acting commissioner, Bud Selig has done more to violate XII.B than Alex Rodriguez, as a player, ever could.” [Joe Sheehan]
You Should go read all that Joe has to say at his website. The entire article is worth five minutes of your life if you like baseball. If you don’t, you should still read it because it’s awesome. Bud Selig is corrupt bastard that is too old and senile to run a major league sport. I’d like this guy to crawl under some rock with his $22 million a year salary a just go away. Here’s my favorite part (continued from above):
“As an owner, as a member of the Player Relations Committee, as head of the Executive Council, as acting commissioner, Bud Selig has done more to violate XII.B than Alex Rodriguez, as a player, ever could. Over a period of ten years, Selig executed strategies that cost the industry more than $1.2 billion, that violated antitrust and labor law, that destroyed any working relationship with the MLBPA and that damaged baseball’s standing with American sports fans.”
Instead of A-Rod getting a lifetime ban because he once made fun of Selig’s penis in the boys locker room, let’s ban Selig from Baseball. It’s time we bring in some new blood that believes baseball would be better if we made sure we got the calls right.
