Former AL president Gene Budig is back in baseball, this time as a part-owner of the Class A Charleston RiverDogs.

The RiverDogs, whose ownership group includes actor Bill Murray, play in the South Atlantic League and are affiliated with the Yankees. When Budig was president of the AL from 1994-2000, he noted, he sometimes was on the receiving end of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner's barbs.
