Title: MLB Wants Dodger Stadium Built Downtown Post by: Marshal Dillon on July 13, 2011, 09:57:31 PM Bud Selig has screwed up, again. This guy will go down as the worst Baseball Commissioner, EVER!
[/coWhile MLB contends it already has the right to seize the team from McCourt, who recently revealed the club is now $525 million in debt, Commissioner Bud Selig is clearly wary of a legal challenge from the Dodger team owner Selig handpicked to buy the team in 2004 for $430 million despite McCourt putting up only $9 million in cash.lor] http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/exclusive-mlb-wants-aeg-la-downtown-ballpark-29783 Title: Re: MLB Wants Dodger Stadium Built Downtown Post by: BAMAWV on July 13, 2011, 10:06:56 PM Had to google.
