RJ>Ted Turner is the commisioner now? Wow! Where have I been? Thanks.
Oops, I meant the Brewers. This is what I get for watching a Braves game 
right before turning on my computer.  :)

RJ>KG>>a in game where the Indians were playing against his team.
RJ>Yeah, but that is why the league president handled the situation

RJ>the Brewers were contending. This is the biggest reason that the
RJ>Great Game needs to hire a commish. Seligs hands are tied in all

I think that someone who was once a player should be Commisioner. 
Someone who understands the players point of veiw. How about Reggie 
Jackson? Or at least someone like him who played for many years and 
for more than one team.  
An owner has no business trying to be commisioner. Conflicting 
interests.
