Brewerfan is right — we should be honoring Selig, not disparaging him.
Just the determination it took for him to bring baseball back to MKE and the state of Wisconsin makes him a Wisconsin icon. Then to spearhead the building of Miller Park, saving the team from relocation makes him, imo, the most important sportsman in the history of Wisconsin.
Then if that wasn’t enough, he gave up his team in an attempt to save all small-market teams with new stadiums and revenue-sharing. To convince the Steinbrenner’s of the baseball world to give up profit for the good of the game was an immense accomplishment.
Was Selig perfect, no, far from it. Collusion was a terrible mistake, as was turning over the team to his daughter, but what he did as owner and founder of this franchise, and as commissioner of baseball in saving the SM franchise far outweighs the bad.
