OK, so Bud Selig cancelled a World Series, turned a blind eye to PEDs while the game recovered from it, and orchestrated a sleazy set of moves to yank the Expos from Montréal.

Other than that, the Commish has had his moments:

  • He turned the Seattle Pilots into the Milwaukee Brewers;
  • He cajoled and twisted arms until he got the World Baseball Classic;
  • He's actually brought a long period of labor peace to baseball; and
  • He's got the game at the forefront of digital media and record revenues.

So now he's concerned about the ongoing rash of Tommy John surgeries that plague pitchers at all levels.
