I say the royals owner he is the richest owner in mlb because of his wal-mart stock he sold off to buy the royals. yet his crying poverty and trying to take away money from other teams that spend money on players.

Carl Pohlad (Twins' owner and the owner, among other things, of a large regional US bank) is one of the richest men in the US, and he does the same.
You're talking about a team sport, played on the major league level by 30 different groups of men, played by well over 100 different groups of men in the minor leagues (also professionally), played in independent professional leagues, played professionally and semi-professionally in a growing number of countries, and played by kids around the world. How is it that one person could ruin the game?

Not really a person, just the ideal that a fan has limitless amounts of resources to attend games. I would love to attend a game, but ticket prices, food and goodies for the kids, I am out $250 easy for a family of 4. (And that doesn't include gas anymore)
Any owner that buys a team to make money doesn't look at the prospectus of baseball.

It's not one person. The owners, the players union, and MLB itself will be to blame because they all knew what was going on with steriods and other performance-enhancing drugs and all of them became deaf, dumb, and blind because of the ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR!!! Only when Congress threatened to install some rules for them was anything done. Why hasn't MLB demanded the release of the names of the players involved with the former Mets employee who plead guilty to steroid distribution?? GREED, that's why!

Baseball has endured far worse things than anything it faces today or likely will see in the near future, and survived the blundering and witless machinations of people even worse than Seligula (yes, there have been worse people).
Ever, the greatness of this game shines through any amount of muck, and there has been plenty in the past.

definately bud selig. as long as he continues to be commish the game will be screwed up. he truly has no clue what the hell he's doing. all his stupid ideas have been horrible: interleague play, all star winner gets homefield, the way hes handling the steroid thing, and everything else. even just recently with the death of josh hancock. he makes the cardinals play on that monday after they hear about the death early sunday morning. by the way, it was against the brewers which he used to own....coincedence? i think not and of course the cards get blown out. please get this guy out of the game.

If Donald Fehr and the players association haven't ruined baseball yet, than NOTHING will EVER ruin baseball!

Every player that uses steriods or amphetimines to enhance performance they are ruining it for the honest players who do things with natural ability and hard work.

George Steinbrenner and Bud Selig. Both think they're bigger than the game itself. They aren't
