Selig Avoids Controversy In UW Commencement Speech

MADISON, Wis. — Baseball commissioner Bud Selig steered clear of controversy in his message to graduates at the University of Wisconsin.

Selig told graduates in a commencement address Saturday not to be afraid of the difficult economy they are entering but instead to dream big and not fear failure.

What Selig didn’t do was talk about the ongoing drug problem in professional baseball, or this season’s drop in attendance.
