Motley Crue announce final tour

 

I wonder if they can combine that with Bud Selig's farewell tour.

Bud signs

Is it possible for an autograph to devalue a baseball?

All Star Game tie

On this date in 2002, despite chants of "Let them play!" from the crowd at Milwaukee's Miller Park, Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig declares the game a 7-7 tie after 11 innings.

"Put something on the line. It used to be league pride, a forgotten concept. How about home field advantage in the World Series?" - Tom Verducci, Sports Illustrated

Blame Verducci!

A player needs 502 plate appearances to be eligible for the batting crown

Melky has 501 this year.

You can be darn certain that Bud pushed this thing through at the speed of light.

He wasn't taking any chances on "Tainted Melk" winning that thing.*

*Melky is presently second at .347, 15 points behind Andrew McCutchen at .362 and Bud wasn't gonna take ANY chance on Melky winning that crown via a late McCutchen slump.

Selig said he agreed with the Marlins suspension of Ozzie Guillen?

Was this before Castro "went bad"?

Why didn't Bud rule it a tie?

He's done it before!

Where's the consistency?!

4 balls and 3 strikes next game?

Just wonderin'.

Think of the possibilities!

Egypt and Libya rising up against dictators!

Some country where they don't play baseball would no doubt give Bud asylum.

This is doable, you know.

He was just filling in!

On this day in 1992, Brewers owner Bud Selig is selected by the owners to serve as acting baseball commissioner until a permanent successor can be found.

Well, they say that possession is 9/10 of the law.

Ask the ghost of Gerald Ford.

They actually went through with it!

Photographic proof of the unveiling of Bud Selig's bronze statue at Milwaukee's Miller Park.

It happened.

Now a historical fact.

They hired cellists.

Nobody was punk'd.

This was real.

Never so much wanted to be a pigeon.

Bud Selig decrees that Jason Donald's hitting streak continues

It currently stands at three games.

Hey, would Galarraga have had to give back the Corvette if Bud granted a perfect game?

It was a consolation prize after all.
