Baseball commissioner Bud Selig, along with owners of the Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland A?s and Boston Red Sox, are donating an undisclosed amount of money to the University of Wisconsin. The donations were announced on Friday at a news conference at Miller Park. Donations from Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, A?s owner Lew Wolff and Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner will go toward a scholarship in Selig?s name. Hank Aaron?s Chasing the Dream Foundation also announced a new scholarship in Selig?s name. Selig gave money to support a new faculty position in United States history focusing on the relationship between sports and society from 1900 to the present.
