Commissioner Ryan Express?

By Frank Solares

           Texas CEO Nolan Ryan step down and gave up his share as minority owner of the Rangers on Thursday, it was a sad day for baseball. His departure leaves many questions according to all the experts, but I only have one. Why not commissioner of BaseBall?

I can't be the only person in the world that thinks that Nolan Ryan would make a great commissioner.

Current commish Bud Selig has announced his retirement, but yet has failed to mention who is on the short list to replace him. Mr. Selig at the age of 79 is leaving a game that has flourished despite scandals, he revolutionized the game with the addition of inter-league games, the addition of wild card games and replay. Many of his critics will focus on the negative as all negative people do, but despite going up against the strongest union in the history of sports, he has cleaned up the game. That is evident by the constant amount of players that get caught cheating. In my humble opinion he has serve his office with dignity, respect, as well as grace.

Mr Ryan at the age of sixty-six can usher BaseBall into a new era, not only was he a Hall Of Fame pitcher, a great CEO and all around ambassador of this game. He has the respect and knowledge to replace the departing commissioner.

I think Mr. Joe Torre, Mr. Bob Costas, or Mr Bob Watson would be an excellent choice, clearly Mr, Ryan would be the best Candidate.
