Endowments, scholarships, foundations have Selig ties

Allan H. “Bud” Selig?s endowed chair in the UW-Madison history department wasn?t his only financial splash. In addition to that endowment, the Hank Aaron Chasing the Dream Foundation endowed the “4 for 4 Scholarship” in honor of Selig. The name references the 12 times in his baseball career that Aaron went 4-for-4 at the plate. Also, three major league team owners created a scholarship to honor Selig and his wife, Suzanne. Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, Oakland A?s owner Lew Wolff and Boston Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner made the endowment under UW-Madison?s Great People Scholarship program.
