How did Donald Fehr ruin baseball? By not letting the owners make billions of dollars while the players got table scraps? Baseball is a multi-billion dollar business, and Fehr did nothing more than continue Marvin Miller's quest to make sure that players get the share to which they're entitled.
If your boss was making millions while paying you $40,000 a year despite your irreplacable value to the company, wouldn't you too expect more? Having someone like a Fehr, Miller, or whoever fight for you would be invaluable.

Selig. Boras is basically applying the loose agent gadget and the draft gadget to make funds - he's effectual because of the fact the vendors oftentimes finally end up giving in to him for concern of finding undesirable. He'd be elementary to conquer if anybody had any cojones. Selig is a larger concern. He has presided over the sport's slide from being "united statesa.'s pasttime" to an additionally-ran. He thinks a recreation ruled through a handful of markets is sturdy, yet can no longer understand the indisputable fact that they are development no new followers in Pittsburgh, in Kansas city, in Baltimore, or any of multiple different cities which could no longer in many cases compete with the Yankees, pink Sox, or different communities which could spend 2, 3, or 4 cases as plenty. He thinks that basically because of the fact MLB is being worthwhile, they seem to be a healthful recreation.

Fehr....without a doubt!!
Selig is just around for the ride, if it wasn't for the the mac/Sosa era there would be baseball like it is today. Bonds was also helping the popularity with the steroid controversy indictment as much as the record(about time) but, think that baseball actually is a dieing sport, it seems to me more kids are involved in soccer(which i HATE) and hockey, it will be only a matter of time before baseball will be dead, hope not but just a thought

Neither. They are just both doing their job, and they have caused baseball to grow to new levels. I do hate that All-star tie, but the wild card was a great idea. Fehr, where is the evidence that he "ruined" baseball?

Considering the game has had record attendence 4 years in a row and a record 6 billion in revenue last year, I would say it is far from ruined
