The Honored Commissioner Speaks
2004-01-13 10:04
by Jon Weisman

Under the headline, "Selig honored by Red Sox," baseball commissioner Bud Selig is quoted by MLB.com discussing the Frank McCourt ownership bid:

"Frank has made an application; it's gone to the ownership committee. They'll have another meeting in Phoenix on Wednesday. I put it on the agenda, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will get through those steps (then). These things are generally a pretty slow process. So I can't tell you that it will be acted upon. But certainly the ownership committee ... it's moving in a very normal fashion. He's made a deal with FOX; I'm hopeful that the deal continues to move forward. He's been very cooperative. The clubs and the ownership committee will have a lot of questions; they always do on everything. This one will be treated the same way."

The way I read this, the only doubt in Selig's mind is not whether the purchase will be approved, but when.

Selig was honored at the Boston Baseball Writers Dinner for "his long and meritorious service to the game."
