The Lost Season

They had won 20 of their last 23 games. They had taken a 6 game lead in the NL East. They had an All-star team. Nothing was going to stop them.

Until that fateful day, on which Commissioner Bud Selig announced the strike that was to end the 1994 Major League Baseball season. Suddenly, the attitude around baseball changed. The players were greedy, the owners were stubborn. The fans were devastated, and baseball took a big hit from it.

Commissioner For A Day

Bud Selig. Most baseball fans shake their head in disgust or recoil at the sound of this man’s name. Granted, he has made some changes for the game of baseball that should not have happened. But, he also has done some great things for the sport.

Selig has made changes that turned out both good and bad, that were loved and hated. But all his decisions have been criticized around baseball for years. This is where I tell you how the job of Commissioner of Major League Baseball should be done. The changes that I think should be made and the things that I think should stay the same.

Step 4: Add as much courage as you can find to the pot, stir for 10 minutes, and then top it off by adding a touch of champagne and a yellow jersey to the mix and letting it sit in its glory for the rest of its life.

Now excuse me while I go back to my fancy cars and ridiculously huge house so I can have my butler take phone calls from all the companies that are paying me millions of dollars to act in their commercials! Look, coach, you just have no idea how hard it is bein’ T.O.!’

So, tell me Terrell, how hard IS it bein’ you? Oh, your rear hurts from sitting around at home instead of going to training camp? I’m terribly sorry to hear that. What’s that? It’s Donovan’s fault? Oh, Andy Reid’s fault. My bad, I must have misheard you the first time. Ok, now excuse me while I go puke.
