Selig: "Uniforms important" (but won't rule out ad patches on them)

[Auggie]

Citing the historic significance of his sport's uniforms, Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is in no hurry to follow the NBA's lead in allowing small advertising patches to be placed on uniforms.

The NBA Board of Governors approved the use of the patches to help raise revenue, estimating it could produce $100 million.

"You learn never to say never, but you know, with us, uniforms are really important," Selig said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "They're history."

What a bullshit statement: "You learn never to say never, but you know, with us, uniforms are really important ..." You'll do anything to make a buck and we know it.

Can't wait till he's history too.

1. I assume you are not just figuring out that $elig is a douchebag and the worst

commissioner baseball has ever had. Ahhh, wishing for the good old days of Bart Giamatti and Fay Vincent, and even Bowie Kuhn!!

[Auggie]

2. Yes

Kuhn was commissioner when the DH rule into effect. Major fuck-up there.

3. Yeah. That was a major fuck-up! Though I suppose El Supremo idolizes him for that!
