Betting He’ll Be There

Bud Selig was given a three-year extension as baseball commissioner through the 2012 season. This decision came just two days after Seelig and Donald Fehr testified before Congress that pretty much just ripped Major League Baseball apart for there investigation of steriods. Selig will become baseball’s second-longest-serving leader behind Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who was the first commissioner from 1920-44.

Selig repeatedly said last December that he would retire after his contract expired in 2009 but many people did not beleive him and nor did I. Especially now, Selig will not be going anywhere until this steriod scandal is stopped or at least in check. He wants to the guy that is known for putting a stop to cheating in baseball and i cant say that I blame him at all. If I was the commisioner during the so called steriod years (like he was) I would not want to go anywhere until I put a stop to it.

All in all I think that Bud has done a pretty good job in his first 15 years as commish, but he will most be remembered for what he does in his next 5 years during this steriod era. If he ends it and catches a lot of big names in the process then he could go down as one of the most influential people in baseball history. I think that he has stepped up his game in the past 2 years but before that he kind of swept everything under the carpet and prayed that he would not be found, but guess what Bud it was…NOW FIX IT! And I think he will but only time will tell! BELIEVE IT!
