Answer 2

Were it not for the past existence of Bowie Kuhn as a commissioner, Selig would have my vote as the worst commissioner the game has ever had. Bud Selig has had since day one in office (1992 as acting commissioner first) to address this issue.

Tom Boswell, a Washington Post reporter opened the whole can of worms in an interview with Charlie Rose of "60 Minutes" nearly 20 years ago in 1988. In that interview he stated that "Jose Canseco was the most blatant example of a ballplayer that had achieved greatness through the use of steroids."

Also during 1988, the Anti-Drug Abuse Act set forth criminal penalties for anyone found guilty of trafficking steroids for anything other than a prescription that was written by a doctor for treatment of disease. Congress felt that this act was not stern enough and immediately replaced it with the current Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990.

Considering that the fire was already burning for four years prior to that moron becoming an acting commissioner, don't you think he should have handled it as a priority problem?

"The reason I’ve retraced the steroid trail and all relative issues serves only one purpose where this article is concerned --- Bud Selig has failed miserably while performing the duties and responsibilities of his position as commissioner of Major League Baseball. The rampant abuse and prevalence of steroids in professional baseball would never have become the issue that it is today and there would not have been the need for the Mitchell investigation had Selig done his job properly."

What worries me the most is the fact that we as fans will have to tolerate Selig being the commissioner until he retires in 2009 when in fact the fans, the ballplayers, and the MLBPA should demand his immediate resignation.

(I actually wrote an article that's been published at Associated Content about the whole issue of Selig's negligence with steroids. Feel free to ask me for a copy of it.)

Answer 3

Terrible-one of the worst ever. They need a guy like the NFL has-Roger Goodell. Heads would roll. Players would fear for their careers if they came within 5 foot of a needle. Selig is and has been a joke. Look at some of his other stupid comments and moves over the years. MLB as whole unfortunately will never be as strong as the NFL-or credible.

Answer 4

Yes. I can't believe that he said that there would be some punishment that is going to be handed down. For somebody that turned a blind eye to the steriods issue, he should be the first to be punished.

Answer 5

this is defiantly one of the worst commissioners ever, the all star game winner getting home field advantage, steroids, discrimination on the national league, money outburst...there really isn't anyone i can think of that has made so many bad decisions.

Answer 6

HE'S AN IDIOT AND HE ALSO OWNS A TEAM WITH ONE OF THE LOWEST PAYROLLS.GREAT FOR REVENUE SHARING.
