Baseball Commissioner Bud: Commissioner Bud Selig

Informal Polls Dept: That was just one of the many issues covered by Selig in his annual far-reaching All-Star Game briefing for members of the Baseball Writers Association of America, according to The Star. We re building facilities in the inner city. We re doing things socially and economically that have never been done. We will do things based on whether we can influence decisions and aNAHEIM Baseball commissioner Bud Selig has no plans to take the 2011 All-Star Game out of Phoenix. That will be baseball s stance even though a significant number of Latin players said in informal polls that they might consider not playing if Arizona s far-reaching SB 1070 is still in place allowing for reasonable suspicion of illegal entry as a reason for identification stops. The only thing I m going to say and I ve been very consistent this sport has been more socially active in the last 18 years than at any time in its history and it s had a great history of that, Selig said concerning the Arizona situation. The fact of the matter is the Richard Lapchick diversity in baseball report came out and the nicest compliment Richard Lapchick gave me is he said Bud Selig has made the face of baseball look like the face of the country. As reported in the news.
