Default A rose by any other name ..... (OT)

Posted By: Cat

My name -Cat- is based on my EBay sales account handle (catonglue). "Cats On Glue" was the name of an intramural softball team I played on in undergrad (long ago).

Rose-hof_selig-sob (is my account I purchase in on EBay) was simply a message I felt strongly about. I felt it said a lot with very few character strokes...kind of like how they name race horses. Selig is in a role to judge Pete Rose, while Selig has less than a spotless record when it comes to following the rules of baseball. His loans from Pohlad were a strict violation of the rules of baseball...nothing ever came of that and he was COMMISSIONER at the time. It's a joke that he is called Baseball Commissioner. He is paid by the owners. He works for the owners. To pretend that he is some independent figure for the good of the game is also a joke. No one can really believe that the owners and Commissioner were blind to the steriod abuse...but the Commissioners Office turned their back because the owners were making money from it. At least there is no misconception as to who Donald Fehr works for.
