Draft Day Seligisms
June 9th, 2009 by

MLB commissioner Allan Huber “Bud” Selig provided some unintentional laughs at draft day today. Instead of posting anything substantive about the Padres picks, here are Selig’s pronunciations that had us giggling:
Cincinnatt-a
Car-din-als
Los Angeleez
Jorge Sanchez from Chester Hill (His name is Tony Sanchez and he’s from Chestnut Hill)

As for Los Angeles, if you can’t pronounce that, just go with the initials.
