DerangedHermit 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2004 http://cbs.sportsline.com/mlb/story/7592303 Bud Selig's term as baseball commissioner was extended for three years through 2009 in a unanimous vote by owners Thursday. On the final day of a two-day meeting, owners also approved starting a baseball World Cup and baseball television network. The World Cup, which must be approved by the players' association and the International Baseball Federation, most likely will not start before 2006. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect it will be more like Olympic Basketball, in that the big stars are reshuffled around, but I could be wrong. The big issue at this point is getting Japan on board.
