Selig Given 3-year Contract Extension Through 2012

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -Bud Selig was given a three-year extension as baseball commissioner through the 2012 season.

The unanimous decision made at Thursday's owners' meeting came two days after Selig and union head Donald Fehr testified before a congressional committee that both criticized baseball for its steroids problem and praised the sport for strides made during the past three years.

Selig will become baseball's second-longest-serving leader behind Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who was the first commissioner from 1920-44. Selig had said repeatedly since December 2006 that he intended to retire after the 2009 season, but many in baseball didn't believe him.

Because he's been doing such a good job

PFFTH!

Selig, who pushed for interleague play and wild cards in the postseason, predicted more change over the next five years.

"By the time I leave, you won't recognize the sport," he said.


Is he crazy in addition to being an asshole?

I can't wait until get a real commissioner again.
