I don't know, that would mean he would be a part of a "Control" group, and from what I saw he didn't exhibit much of that |

He turned a blind eye to juicing for years, because juiced players made money for the owners, of which he was one. Every recommendation made by the Mitchell Report should have been implemented years ago. That's what a Commissioner who was protecting the integrity of the game would have done. Selig did not because he's never really been the Commissioner of Baseball.

I respectfully disagree. This steroid/drug culture has permeated MLB for many years, most likely predating Selig's Brewers ownership. Where were Euberoth(sp?), Kuhn, Giamatti, Vincent, etc? It's my opinion that the fault lies with Donald Fehr and the players association. Remember the strikes and lockouts? If they had agreed to adequate drug testing years ago, the problem would not have grown.
Don't get me wrong, Selig has made mistakes (many actually). But at least he's addressing it.
Oh well, I will still be a basball fan, probably for life. |
