you judge a commissioner but the growth of the sport under his reign, both in popularity and revenue. selig has done a good job in both. mlb was really the first major sport to capitalize on the burgeoning online media biz way back and has made alot of money for every teams through revenue sharing. not counting the regional networks, mlb is about to negotiate a huge national tv deal that would make every team's value go up. all of that trickles down to the escalating players' salaries. what other sports do you see multiple 200+ mil guaranteed contracts?

when you look at the struggles in the nba/nfl/nhl with stern, goodell, and especially bettman...then you start to appreciate the stability of mlb and bud selig. maybe he's not hof-worthy because i don't put commisioners in, but the flack he's gotten is ridiculous.
