View Photo »It is my great hope and firm expectation that today’s change in ownership marks the start of a new era for the Los Angeles Dodgers and that this historic franchise will once again make the city of Los Angeles proud
There is no question that the Commissioner [Bud Selig] has done an outstanding job by adding the Wild Cards to keep fans interested in September and by getting revenue sharing to help everybody in baseball, but pitch counts -- that's the only thing I don't like about the game
Those associated with our game should meet the responsibilities and standards that stem from our game's stature as a social institution ... An incident like this cannot and will not be tolerated. I understand that Mr. Young is regretful, and it is my expectation that he will learn from this unfortunate ...
Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig insists the Oakland Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays must have new ballparks...
An incident like this cannot and will not be tolerated ... I understand that Mr. Young is regretful, and it is my expectation that he will learn from this unfortunate episode.
What has changed is that baseball owners, led by Commissioner Bud Selig, have come to respect the collective power of their bargaining adversary, the players ... That respect was earned through [their] solidarity. Collective bargaining changes when each side respects the power of the other.
He was a wonderful storyteller and an important link to a great era in baseball history
We have to change the attitude toward baseball (in Montreal) and stop being angry with everybody (like commissioner Bud Selig and former Expos owners Jeffrey Loria and David Samson) ... What it was is what it was. You got to get past that era. We need a fresh, new approach to baseball in the city.
Of all the problems I have today, I'm really not concerned about the Padres ... I don't think there is anything to be concerned about.
I remember the Subway Series (the 2000 World Series between the Mets and the Yankees) when (MLB commissioner Bud Selig) came in and said, ‘This is the showcase of showcases. This is New York against New York playing baseball on our finest stage.’ I think of that every time the Yankees and the Red Sox pl...
We are pleased that the report continues to recognize the diversity throughout Major League Baseball ... MLB will remain vigilant in its efforts on and off the field and is committed to making further progress in many of the areas broached in the report.
Baseball took notice and made I think a very smart change ... Bud Selig did a remarkable thing adding the wild card and I think he's now doing another remarkable thing by enhancing the playoff push. It certainly brings back the importance of being a division winner again.
Fifteen years ago, you couldn't give an All-Star Game away
Recent articles claiming that Major League Baseball has decided that the A's cannot share the two-team Bay Area market were denied by baseball Commissioner Bud Selig last weekend
The Dodgers had been one of the most prestigious franchises in all of sports, and we owe it to their legion of loyal fans to ensure that this club is being operated properly now and will be guided appropriately in the future.
Bud Selig on his 1 man mission to ruin baseball does it again. This extra wildcard 1 game playoff is a ludicrous idea! Fire him immediately
Baseball is a social institution with social responsibilities, and caring for the environment is inextricably linked to all aspects of the game ... Sound environmental practices make sense in every way and protect out natural resources for future generations of baseball fans.
I'm an optimist, and I really believe that every problem has a solution to it
Some people call them cathedrals ... The sport is better off for keeping them and having them. But, how long? You know, nothing lasts forever.
I had a low and high price range in my mind
Time will tell. I'm always hopeful. I'm an optimist, and I really believe that every problem has a solution to it. The question is just finding the right one, and so far I've been lucky on that score. And so I hope my string of luck will continue.
I'm always hopeful when there are debates amongst clubs, I try to lead teams in a direction of solving their problems themselves ... However, this group has an interesting comment whenever they get in trouble: `That's why you're here, Commissioner.’ That's what they tell me. I don't know that that's a p...
They need a new ballpark, there's no question ... I talked a lot to Stu Sternberg and he's talking to people. He and I have had many conversations, and we'll just monitor the situation. He's doing what he should do. He's there, he's talking to all parties trying to see what he can do.
The one given everybody believes is that Oakland needs a new stadium ... The last time I was there, I probably shouldn't say this, but I'll say it anyway, it reminded me of County Stadium and Shea Stadium, and that's not a compliment, in either case. ... You can't ask people to compete if they have a st...
I was disappointed, very disappointed
