Bud Selig calls St. Louis best baseball town in America
At the annual dinner hosted by the St. Louis chapter of the Baseball Writers of America on Jan. 18, outgoing MLB commissioner Bud Selig called St. Louis “the best baseball town in America.”
Baseball fans on Twitter weren’t particularly impressed by Selig’s endorsement.
Bud Selig named St. Louis baseballs best city. Don't be too upset, he also thinks Ross is the coolest Friends character.
