| What was Bud Selig thinking? Page 2 staff | ||
What was acting baseball commissioner and Milwaukee Brewers owner Bud Selig thinking when he accepted a $3 million loan from fellow owner Carl Pohlad's company in 1995?
B. He knew Pohlad was getting old, and he hoped he'd forget about it by the time it came to pay it back C. He figured, if worse came to worse, his good pal Donald Fehr would help him out D. He knew it might "look" like a conflict of interest later when he concocted his plan to contract two teams, one of which would be Pohlad's Twins, which Major League Baseball would buy out for twice its market value, but he figured his impeccable reputation for always being truthful would convince his many supporters among fans and the media that everything was on the up-and-up E. It was a mini-experiment in revenue sharing F. As he explained to Congress, he did it in the best interests of baseball. |
