Do you agree with bud selig this is the golden era in everyway?
Question:when ever bud selig talks he keeps saying this is the golden age of baseball. i can't help but wonder if its really. under bud selig they canceld the 1994 world series, their was rapid use of steroids, he made the to leagues play against each other in the playoffs which force the all-star game to be irrelibent to such a point that he made the stupid rule that if your league wins the all-star game you have world series homefield. he had a all-star tie, two teams almost got eliminated, he penalize teams for creating value by imposing a revenue sharing agaisnt them. he expanded to cities were mlb teams couldn't survive look at colorado, florida,tampa bay and the arizona. and under his watch the greatest record in sports might fall to a cheater. he also wanted sell out and put advertising on the uniforms, and plaster spider man logos in the bases. they almost took extra innings package away from baseball forcing people 60 million to watch it in that horrible internet way.

Most disappointing season so far?
Hell no. Bud Selig SUCKS!!Does Alex Rodriguez use steroids?
you were on a roll until you got to the hr record going to a cheater. I believe selig may not attend the game and there may not be a huge ceremony which is a shame and a mistake which would just add to his list. No one has proved nothing of bonds. Aaron wasnt tested (not saying he should have been) gaylord perry cheated for fact and is still in the hall. giambi cheated for fact and is still loved by the yankee fans...this could go on forever. It is obvious the 86 mets were all on illegal drugs gooden and strawberry anyways..does that mean we should put an asterisk by that series?? selig is an idiot and will just add to it by not celebrating the breaking of the games biggest record.that i agree wth you on.Not even close , the only thing golden about this era was the ridiculous amount of money the players make.
All the other things you mentioned are marketing strategies that became necessary to help the owners of expansion franchises make money and increase the value of their investment;, they are irrelevant to the actual game.
Think about it . From a baseball perspective a playoff is unnecessary. Each team is going to play each team 10 times or so.
With that many games the better team will always emerge .Before the stupidity of the playoff system there were no crapshoot pennant winners nor World Series winners .
We all know what happened, The owners had to protect their investment . They did what was necessary to get the casual /borderline fans butt into one of the seats in their tax payer funded ballparks.
It was great for the bottom line but it was very bad for the game.
The controversy about the legitimacy of Barry Bond's as the soon to be home run record owner is the bastard child of expansion and the dumbing down of the game.
No the Golden Era of Baseball was basically the length of Willie May's career
