I would hope no restaurant would serve him. I would also hope any organization in Houston would reconsider having him appear in any capacity. It just validates his behavior.

Attendees to the event should all stand up and walk out as soon as he gets up to speak.

I see where Sheila Jackson Lee will be there.  Maybe the congresswoman has some interesting conspiracy theories on the Astros' move to the AL that she can discuss w/ Bud.

Among other topics Selig addressed:

The designated hitter position will remain and a universal DH won’t be on the agenda unless MLB teams are geographically realigned.

What does one have to do with the other?

It would move a bunch of teams from one league to the other.

I see. Maybe Houston could be more properly realigned geographically. Maybe with some other teams from the central US.

Houston, Dallas, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago (1). 

Or maybe the Southern US.  Tampa Bay, Miami, Houston, Atlanta, Dallas.

Man, there have been some CLASSIC games against those guys.  I'd hate to see that kind of tradition messed with.  It would make me stop following the Astros completely.

Well, the Texans are going to drop back down to being a .500 team this year, so the fewer people who see it from the beginning, the better.

“If my memory serves me correctly, you just had one here in ’04. … We have 30 teams,” said Selig, who gave a keynote speech during the 2013 MLB Diversity Summit at the George R. Brown Convention Center. “We have 30 teams with a long line of people that want it. And, look, the All-Star Game was great here, but I’m having trouble enough with clubs who haven’t had it for 40 and 50 years. And if I keep going back to the same places we’ve been, I’ll have more trouble.”

The difference being, Bud, that you didn't fuck the other 29 teams up the ass as a condition of a sale two years ago. What a piece of shit.
