Open Letter to Bud Selig

Open letter to Bud Selig, Commissioner of Baseball

Dear Mr. Selig,

I have never been more disappointed in your actions as commissioner than with the way you handled the situation with the new York Mets wanting to wear baseball caps to honor those brave first responders who died on 9/11.

This was a one day request to do pay this tribute on the 10th anniversary of that attack. You, however, denied the request, and indeed threatened the team with fines if the players went ahead with their plan. Instead, you made them wear official caps which included the team logo and an American flag, which MLP happened to be selling at $39.95.

As a fan, I honestly do not understand your reasoning at all. What is also disappointing were newscasts that you were upset with this being reported in the first place. Clearly, you were more upset that people found out about your actions when you could have simply done the right thing to begin with. It seems to me that you are more concerned with your image rather than baseball's.

Why Neocons should be afraid

Matthew gives us the story of doing to the least of our brothers. Sadly, too many of the neocons running the country and their followers forget the message. I am by no means the perfect Christian or human. I do, however, know that too many people only want to see the President fail and won't do anything to fix the economy until they see him out of office.
