​CHICAGO — Right on schedule, notorious buzzkill Bud Selig is back to try to spoil your World Series experience.Best known for canceling the 1994 World Series as interim MLB commissioner, Selig is again lobbying for a salary cap, 32 years after the players struck to avoid one, leading to the postseason he canceled.Go figure.The former Milwaukee Brewers owner, who was part of the ceremonial-first-pitch festivities Friday at Game 1 of the World Series, came out of moth balls at age 92 to talk with The Athletic about his beloved Brew Crew, who are taking on the Tampa Bay Rays.Naturally, Selig is ecstatic, and the story generally paints him as a fine man and a significant baseball figure. The headline is “Bud Selig savors this Brewers World Series and says MLB needs a salary cap,” but it isn’t until about halfway through that Selig is asked about the upcoming labor dispute that’s virtually a lock to end up with an owners lockout.“I try to stay away from this subject, but I will say this to you: We need a cap,” Selig said.Shocking news — a 92-year-old man was sticking to a plan that led to his signature moment 32 years ago, even as that plan failed to result in the desired salary cap.When Selig canceled the remainder of the season on Sept. 14, 1994, the Associated Press report began: “Bud Selig, a history major, has made himself history. His name forever will be linked with canceling the World Series.”Being old means never having to admit you were wrong, and now Selig is back for seconds, helping his successor, Rob Manfred, spread the narrative that the game’s survival depends on a salary cap.The article’s author, Tyler Kepner, pointed out to Selig that having two small-market teams in the World Series could suggest the system is working just fine. It’s an argument that’s easy to make with the Brewers and Rays beating two megabucks teams — the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees — on their way to the World Series.But Selig was unconvinced.“Would you really make that conclusion after (the) 44 years it took to win?” Selig said, referring to the Brewers’ pennant drought. “The Dodgers have spent money, like my favorite term: drunken sailor. I understand people can disagree, but I believe (a cap is) the right thing. But that’s for another day.”“Fair enough,” Kepner concludes, changing the subject.But that didn’t stop Selig from lobbying for a cap elsewhere, like he’s a spokesman for Manfred and the owners. He told Front Office Sports: “You have to make adjustments. The changes that (owners) are proposing are not only rational, they’re essential.”Wait, we thought you didn’t want to talk about it?What’s up, Bud?A lockout seems inevitable, we’ve all heard for months. The only real question is probably how much of the 2027 season will be salvaged. Half a season? Another 60-game season like the pandemic-shortened 2020?And whether you believe a salary cap is necessary, chances are you’d still
