April 13, 200422 yr The New York Press recently did a list of the 50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers and Commissioner Bud came in #36. From: http://nypress.com/17/13/feature/feature.cfm?page=4&last=3 36 Bud Selig MLB Commissioner HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS evoke William S. Burroughs' "commissioner of sewers" character. And maybe that's just what 69-year-old Allan H. "Bud" Selig is. Major League Baseball's greed machine has shifted into high gear under his reign as he mishandles one crisis after another. For years he's childishly trumpeted increased attendance as an actual barometer of the sport, while relying on MLB's dubious marketing schemes and false-fronted emphasis on "internationalizing" baseball to carry all the public relations weight. Once a below-average auto dealer, he's Wisconsin through and through, but Bud's office is up there on Park Ave. with the rest of the league royalty, probably pissed that he goes unrecognized when eating at nearby Smith & Wollensky.
April 14, 200422 yr There are 35 more loathsome people in New York? Hmmmm ... Must be the Yankees front office, coaching staff and team.
