| Reason #1,000,000 to hate Bud Selig....
ESPN.com - MLB - Selig's '05 earning power pegged at $14.5 million Quote: |
Selig received $14.5 million in the 12 months ending Oct. 31, 2005, according to Major League Baseball's tax return, which was obtained by the Sports Business Journal.
| The man who single handedly brought down baseball is making over 10 million a year.
He has to be the greatest used car salesman ever!  |

| Unfortunately for Selig, he had to deal with Bonds, and a tied all star game in the 13th. | |

I really don't think comparing the Presidency of the United States and presiding over a game is fair to W. | |
