Commissioner Until Death
Bud Selig left the door open to stay on as commissioner on Thursday:
Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig hedged slightly on his retirement plans on Thursday, saying he intends to leave in 2009 but that he's learned "never to say never."
That's pretty much what happened last time. Selig was going to retire, but the owners convinced him to stay. I don't think it will take very much convincing.
Bud won't leave until a successor is named. Knowing the only person able to bring owners together is Bud, it may take a while.
