Bud Selig Attendance Quotations

Setting the all-time attendance record for a second straight year shows that baseball's popularity is greater than ever, ... We are living in baseball's golden era.

The sport is having its greatest year, ... We're going to top 54 million people in attendance (Saturday), and we could come close to 55 million by (today). We're at a stunning attendance pace.

It is the start of the season, and I look for this to be the biggest season in Major League Baseball history. I believe we will set an attendance record (this season). The sport has never been more popular, I'm very proud of where we are today, and this should be a remarkable year in terms of both competitive balance and attendance.

You know, not that I'm not sensitive about it. Last year when we had the congressional hearings on March 17, people said there's a dark cloud hanging over the game. Turns out last year may have been the greatest year in our history in terms of attendance and everything else.
