But Selig's greatest strength, in the view of Fehr, was his ability to build consensus among owners.

'Bud had an attribute unique among commissioners with the possible exception of Al Davis in the old AFL years ago -- he was an owner' Fehr said. 'He did come from a struggling market. He did know something about what it takes to interest broadcasters, to interest players, sell tickets, get stadiums built and all the rest of it.'

Interesting article from my perspective as one who barely remembers the last MLB labor dispute and the argument over the salary caps.

Also interesting that it notes how TV has changed, yet sports are even more important in the DVR era.
