Selig Reminds Owners of Economic Crisis

His head isn't in the ground anymore.


In an interesting article, Selig warned teams to not get too overconfident and overprice their tickets. Say what you want to about his role in steroids, the All-Star Game, and the Wild Card, but you can't deny Selig's influence on the economics of the game. At almost every turn, he's helped the MLB make huge profits, and in this instance, he's protecting those profits. He's looking forward and looking out for the consumer (which is really looking out for himself, I agree, but is there really such a thing as an unselfish act?). Hopefully, the owners listen.
