January 11, 201214 yr http://www.csnchicago.com/blog/whitesox-ta...rce=twitterfeed Report: Selig to get two-year extension January 11, 2012, 12:53 pm ANGIE WIATROWSKI csnchicago.png For quite some time word on the street was that Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig would retire at the end of the 2012 season. Buster Olney of ESPN is reporting that Selig, 77, will get a two-year extension. @Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Not surprisingly, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig will get an extension this week at the owners' meetings, of at least two years. Jan 10 via webFavoriteRetweetReply The news doesn't come as a surprise, at least to the New York Daily News' Bill Madden. "There isn't a single person in baseball who believes Selig is going anywhere," he said. "Even Selig's closest friends find laughable the notion of him walking away from a job that pays upwards of $20 million per year, along with the perks of a private jet, to teach sports history." A vote should happen this week at the owners' meetings in Arizona. Are you surprised with the extension? Do you think Selig should have retired? If so, who would you want as Commissioner?
January 11, 201214 yr I think they dont want Bush to be the next commish. But they dont have anyone else ready to take over.
