Allan Huber "Bud" Selig
; born July 30, 1934) is an American baseball executive who currently serves as the Commissioner Emeritus of Baseball. Previously, he served as the ninth
Commissioner of Baseball
. He initially served as the acting commissioner beginning in 1992 before being named the official commissioner in 1998.
[6]
Selig oversaw baseball through the
1994 strike
, the introduction of the
wild card
,
interleague play
, and the merging of the
National
and
American Leagues
under the Office of the Commissioner. He was instrumental in organizing the
World Baseball Classic
in 2006.
[6]
Selig also introduced revenue sharing.
[7]
He is credited for the financial turnaround of baseball during his tenure with a 400 percent increase in the revenue of MLB and annual record breaking attendance.
[6]
During Selig's term of service,
the use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs
became a public issue. The
Mitchell Report
, commissioned by Selig, concluded that the MLB commissioners, club officials, the
Players Association
, and the players all share "to some extent in the responsibility for the steroid era."
[8]
Following the release of the Mitchell Report, Congressman
Cliff Stearns
called publicly for Selig to step down as commissioner, citing his "glacial response" to the "growing stain on baseball."
[6]
Selig has pledged on numerous occasions to rid baseball of performance-enhancing drugs, and has overseen and instituted many rule changes and penalties to that end.

A Milwaukee native, Selig was previously the owner and team president of the
Milwaukee Brewers
. The franchise, originally known as the
Seattle Pilots
, was acquired by Selig in bankruptcy court in 1970, and renamed after the
minor league team of the same name
that he had watched in his youth and had existed until the arrival of the
Braves
in Milwaukee in 1953. Selig was credited with keeping baseball in Milwaukee. The Brewers went to the
1982 World Series
(but were defeated in seven games by the
St. Louis Cardinals
, an event that Selig laments to this very day), and won seven Organization of the Year awards during his tenure. Selig remains a resident of Milwaukee.
On January 17, 2008, Selig's contract was extended through 2012, after which he planned to retire,
[10]
but he then decided to stay as commissioner until the end of the 2014 season, a move approved by the owners on January 12, 2012,
[11]
which would take his leadership past his 80th birthday. Selig made .5 million in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2005.
[6]
Selig announced on September 26, 2013, that he would retire in January 2015.
[12]
On January 22, 2015,
MLB
announced that Selig would formally step down from the office when his current term expired on January 24, 2015.
[13]
[14]
He was inducted into the
Baseball Hall of Fame
in 2017.

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
