Despite being adamant about his retirement following the the 2012 regular season, we learned yesterday that Bud Selig will receive at least two-year extension as Commissioner. Knowing that Selig will do –and to this point has done– everything in his power to keep the Wilpons as owners, this is disheartening news. This indirectly cripples the Mets financially for another two years...

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has been given a two-year contract extension through the 2014 season. Selig has held the position since 1992, first as acting commissioner and then as commissioner since 1998. He will turn 80 in July 2014. If he stays until September 2016, he would surpass Kenesaw Mountain Landis (1920-44) as the longest-serving baseball commissioner.
