Naw, That Isn't Selig Blaming Net, Is It?
Monte Poole of the Oakland Tribune wasn't impressed by the Commissioner's visit. He wondered if MLB had sent an impostor:
"The fellow certainly looked like the commissioner, only with a better haircut. His glasses resembled those often seen on Bud, and he spoke in a nasal tone that sounded a lot like Selig.
But this guy spent a half-hour insulting the intelligence of everyone who listened.
The 'real' Bud would never do that.
Would he? "
Poole noted that Selig "declined to cite one physical shortcoming of the place," instead stubbornly reciting his mantra: "must...have...more...revenue." Poole also observed that with the West Contra Costa County school system on the verge of eliminating sports and closing libraries, local residents' priorities for use of their tax dollars might not be the same as the Commissioner's.
