Upcoming Book on Selig by Zimbalist
17th February 2006
Love him or hate him, Bud Selig is an always interesting subject. I have just recieved an advance copy of Andrew Zimbalist’s latest book, In the Best Interest of Baseball? The Revolutionary Reign of Bud Selig, which, so far, has been interesting
Among the more controversial topics Zimbalist probes into are:
◗ Conflicts of interest arising from Selig’s original role as owner/commissioner
◗ Selig’s response to the growing steroids scandal
◗ The commissioner’s role in promoting and marketing the sport
◗ Player relations and the collective bargaining agreement
◗ Major changes in the game made on Selig’s watch
◗ Leadership—getting owners to think beyond their wallets for the good of the game
◗ Selig’s growing compensation.
The book hits shelves on March 1st. It can be pre-ordered through sites, such as Amazon.com, now.
