Selig will look like a champ for standing up against him and the union as well. A-Rod admitting at this point is worthless.

Minor, useless, trivia . . . . . I remember watching A-Rod play a game in Calgary against the Cannons.
He was an 18 or 19 year-old phenom, highly touted and freshly signed out of a Miami high school (I think). An interview in the paper hinted at his impatience with being in the minors. I remember him smoking a line drive over the left field wall at the Cannons stadium that someone is probably still trying to find.
That was the start and this looks like the end.
