Bud Selig at Major League Baseball's ForefrontBud Selig worried about this day for several weeks, leading up to seeing his statue for the first time.

“Given the guy didn’t have much to work with because I was never confused with Clark Gable, I thought he did a masterful job,” Selig said at the unveiling Tuesday. “I thought he captured me really remarkably well.”

The former Milwaukee Brewers owner who became baseball commissioner was honored with a bronze, 7-foot statue in front of Miller Park. It was designed and produced by Brian Maughan and portrays Selig with his right arm extended, his hand holding a baseball.

The statue joined those of Robin Yount and Hank Aaron at the stadium Selig pushed to get built.

Yount, Aaron and fellow Hall of Famers Frank Robinson, Ernie Banks and Al Kaline attended the ceremony along with more than a dozen owners and other dignitaries representing the 30 clubs. Rachel Robinson, the widow of Jackie Robinson, also sat in the front row. Read More >>

Angels manager Mike Scioscia says, “Sometimes, these things just hit a wall and you don’t feel any better and you have to go in and do something.”

The MRI showed no signs of torn ligaments or tendons to the knee cap, which would have kept Aybar out for the rest of the season and would have questioned his future effectiveness. Read More >>
