Fresh off of another appearance in front of Congress, in which he was forced to defend himself for doing absolutely nothing as baseball immersed itself in steroids, Bud Selig has been given a contract extension.

He'll now be lording over things through 2012.

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.

well, yeah, I mean that makes sense..

[Lefty Noob]

Yeah, anyway you slice it, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Baseball cleary needs a change in leadership at the top.

The commissioner has served the interests of the owners since Landis died. Nothing will change that. Selig is a perfect fit for these owners, as they have made money hand over fist in most citites under his reign.
