| 17th January, 2008 - 12:32 pm | SI.com - Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig received a three-year extension through 2012 at the owner's meetings in Scottsdale, Ariz., today. Selig, 73, appeared before Congress this week to testify about the Mitchell Report, which he authorized to examine the history of steroids in baseball.
Details of the contract have not been announced. In 2007, Selig was reported to have earned $14 million.
Selig, the former owner of the Milwaukee Brewers, was named acting commissioner by his fellow owners in 1992 and has had the job full-time since 1998. Of the game's eight previous commissioners, only the first one, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who held the post from 1920-1944, was in office longer than Selig's 16 years. [READ] |
