fringe Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Bud Selig to be honored with statue Comment Email Print ShareAssociated Press MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers are erecting a statue of baseball commissioner Bud Selig outside Miller Park and will unveil it on Aug. 24. Selig Selig headed a group that bought the Seattle Pilots in bankruptcy court in 1970, moved the franchise to Milwaukee and renamed it the Brewers. He became acting commissioner in 1992 and took the job full-time six years later, turning control of the team over to his daughter, Wendy Selig-Prieb. The Selig family sold the team to a group headed by Mark Attanasio in 2005. "The Brewers and Miller Park are in this city because of the commissioner's vision and dedicated efforts," Attanasio said Monday. Selig's foundation donated statues of Hank Aaron and Robin Yount that were unveiled when Miller Park opened in 2001. Selig's statue, which will be more than 7 feet tall, will be built by the same designer, Brian Maughan. ----- I say it should be a big syringe with a blindfold.

NY ought to build a statue for George to rival the Colossus of Rhodes. But that's a good one about the syringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Giant Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Steroids were not Seligs fault his hands were tied by Fehr and the union, nothing Selig could do about the players Riiiiight. You're saying the commissioner of major league baseball couldn't make steroids illegal? Fehr was a powerful guy, but Jimmy Hoffa he ain't. The reason Bud kept his yap shut was because baseball wasn't in a great place back then and "Chicks dig the long ball" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
