IMO, this further proves Selig's inablity to be a good leader. Any good leader knows not to start pointing fingers/laying blame on other people for things that happened under his or her watch. It serves no real purpose and It is only going to further undermine their credibility with the people that they are trying to lead/inspire.

His simple statement should have been: I take responsibility for not doing a better job of getting this issue under control prior to it steamrolling out of control. As the leader of MLB and for our fans, it is my responsibilty to ensure that all 30 teams put a quality product on the field within the rules of baseball and the laws of the United States. I failed that principle and for that I truly apologize. I hope that our recent testing and continued efforts to improve that testing will help to restore the image of MLB in the eyes of its fans and its employees.
