20921 <p>Major League Baseball commissioner <strong>Bud Selig</strong> stopped by the <em>Mike and Mike Show </em>Monday in St Louis.

Namely, the players don't care about it as much as they used to. <em>Baseball Tonight's </em><strong>John Kruk, </strong>a two time All-Star, said recently that when he played he was one of many that preferred the three days off .
