MLB Commissioner Bug Selig not only dodged questions about Barry Bonds, but also dodged questions about anabolic use in baseball. From the AP (Inside the Bay Area):
NEW YORK — Bud Selig was willing to discuss just about everything — other than Barry Bonds and steroids.
The baseball commissioner sidestepped questions Thursday about whether he'll attend games as Bonds nears Hank Aaron's home run record of 755.
"Is he really approaching?" Selig, a longtime friend of Aaron, said facetiously after owners finished their two-day meeting. "I don't have anything different to say today. I'll make a decision at some appropriate time."
In 1974, commissioner Bowie Kuhn was criticized for not attending the game when Aaron hit No.715 to break Babe Ruth's record. Kuhn was there when Aaron hit No.714.
Bonds began Thursday with 745.
Selig also wouldn't say whether he was concerned that active players thus far have not agreed to be interviewed for former Sen. George Mitchell's steroids investigation and only a few have supplied requested medical records.
"That is something that my friends at the players' association, the players, you'll have to ask them," Selig said at a news conference.
So Selig said nothing; it's non-news. Why are we writing this? Why are you reading this? Are we idiots? Or is he?
