"I'm very happy about where we are," Selig said. "I think this is tremendous. Long after I'm gone this is going to get bigger and bigger and bigger, and you can count on that." Selig admitted that he'll have to continue to persuade Major Leaguers and their teams about the importance of the event. "I know we have some GMs who are somewhat reticent -- I'm going to be as kind here as I can," Selig said. "Look, the clubs hear this all the time, but I'm going to say this to you as directly as I can: " 'This is a time in life where I know how important your individual club is -- this is a time to put the best interests of the game ahead of your own provincial self-interest.'
