Though I’ve already nominated a highly qualified quintet as candidates for Bud Selig’s job when and if the Used Car Salesman steps down, there was one impressive name I left off the list.
During a recent chat with Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitch (link courtesy Sports Media Watch), Keith Olbermann revealed no shortage of bombshells. Not only does Non-Metallic K.O. admit to Googling himself daily, having attended prep school with Chris Berman and (most damning of all) bookmarking Deadspin, the Countdown host also ‘fesses up to participating in a fantasy baseball league presided over by Jason Bateman.
So with all due respect to my other nominees (Gavin Rossdale, Paul Giamatti, Chris Russo, Kevin Mitchell, Phil Mushnick), I think we’ve got our new Commish.
Under that criteria, my man Steve Perry should get some consideration. The dude gets stalked by crazy fans at Dodgers games, after all.
Him?
With clu … oh, wait.
i wonder if the winner of the league gets a cornballer
and a banana stand in every park!
