Money quote: "I could have left after the pregame," said baseball commissioner Bud Selig. "It was everything I wanted it to be. It was one of the rare moments in my job when you are proud to be commissioner."
So, generally speaking, Selig is _not_ proud to be commissioner. In fact, he does think that the steroids controversy is a disgrace. In fact, he does think the rigged bidding process for franchises is a disgrace. In fact, he does think that the method by which owners strong arm municipalities (with the willing help of officials, ahem, Bloomberg) to build money pits (aka, stadiums) is a disgrace.
Oh yeah, this article is mostly about yesterday's festivities.
