So, here is just one part of an article on sports commissioner's that I found on Yahoo...Just thought that this was interesting. Why would Bud Selig care about the little guy anymore? He is making $19 Mil a year. Is the world unfair and unjust or what?


Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig grabs the No. 1 spot, bringing in just under $19 million a year. Selig earned $18.35 million dollars in 2007 alone. He made $17.47 million in base compensation, $461,540 in employee benefits, and another $422,590 in expense allowances. That would be a nice haul for a player, let alone a sports commissioner. There are only 10 players in the entire sport that currently make more money than Selig.

With the labor problems, World Series cancellation and All Star Game fiasco all occurring under his watch, Bud Selig still manages to pull in a multi-million dollar salary.


How about the un-level playing field with payrolls in baseball? Forgot to mention that one.

Smile, today could be your last.
