Bud Selig has been the commissioner of Major League Baseball for more than 19 years, but the 2011 season is already one of his favorites.
"I've had a lot of people, including a lot of owners, say that to me," Selig said. "The comments are usually along the lines of 'Wow, what a season," or 'It was wonderful.'"
One of the reasons for the game's overall health was again validated when the owners and the MLB Players Association reached an accord on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, which will run through 2016.
By the end of this agreement, baseball will have had more than two decades of labor peace.
