Bud Selig Thank Quotations

Major League Baseball wants to do its share to help those who are suffering from the devastating wreckage caused by Hurricane Katrina. I thank the players' association for joining us in making this initial contribution and I thank in advance our clubs, players, employees, business partners and fans who offer assistance in the days ahead.

I wish to thank the Department of State and the Department of Treasury for their assistance in securing the approvals necessary for Cuba to participate in the inaugural World Baseball Classic in March. The federal government thoughtfully and diligently helped us bring the application process to a successful conclusion. Now, with Cuba?s entry in the tournament approved, the World Baseball Classic promises to be an historic event and will guarantee our fans the greatest possible competition among the best players in the world.

Thank God -- and us --for the wild card.

It was a great human experience. I thanked each one of them and each one of them said, 'We need to thank you.
