Last year he made approximately $14.5 million dollars!!
That's right $14.5 million!
The entire Florida Marlins payroll was about $14.75 million.
Bud's breakout is :
$6 million - base salary
$6 million - Bonus
$2.5 Million - Travel and personal expenses
That guy lives like a rock star!!
Does this anger anybody else??

Bud Selig is a team owner in disguise................

The only thing that bothers me about Bud is the All-Star game. If you want to make it count - they idiot fans should not be allowed to vote. Every year there are those that start, and should not even be on the team, let alone starting. If it counts for something, then some 10 year old behind a keyboard should not be in charge of picking the participants.
But his salary - I am fine with that. He makes good money, but keeps baseball rolling along.

If you are a true baseball fan,Bud Selig is public enemy number 1.He has single handedly tried his best to destroy baseball.Fans are begging for a salary cap,which by the way will come with a minnimum.All he does is cater to steinnbrenner so no other teams have a chance.Oh and we cant forget about the allstar game ending in a tie."THERES NO TIES IN BASEBALL".Cant wait untill this guy is history.

Ive always had a problem with Selig going back to his Brewer days.Hes always seemed so arrogant to me,and he had to be dragged kicking and screaming into starting interleague play and the wild card,even though both have proven to be a boon.And lets not forget what hes done to the All star game,especially that fiasco a few years ago when they ran out of players.

I don't really have a problem with it. Baseball is ridiculously profitable and he's done a lot for the game. Also, it's not like he was poor before. He was an owner for crying out loud.

yeah. he is all high and mighty about helping small market teams. but he gets paid like he plays with the yankees. bud is an idiot he is doing this with small market teams to. look he takes yankees money and gives it to the royals owner, and doesn't force them to put back on the team.

No, it does not anger me at all, given the exorbitant salaries of ball players. Why should it anger you or me??
