At mlb.com--Bud Selig's website--columnist Richard Justice pays tribute to:
- A "thoroughly honest" man of "essential decency" and "sensitivity on racial fairness issues."
- "One of the great storytellers on earth," blessed with "perfect comedic timing."
- A "large presence" who "does not meet many strangers. He likes people."
- A "friend" of "presidents, governors, ticket-takers, peanut vendors" "general managers, umpires, trainers, team doctors and players," who "spoke their language, had their trust."
- A "sounding board" who "has counseled players regarding their marriages, children, girlfriends, alcohol consumption -- you name it."
- An "extraordinary success," "as competitive as any person you'll ever meet," whose "vision and ability to forge a consensus" makes him...
- "The greatest Commissioner of them all."
Last month, Justice examined Selig's new playoff expansion. After much reflection, he found it to be of "sheer brilliance."
