Yes he does deserve it for what he did for the BREWERS.
If it were a Selig statue on the MLB HQ i would understand the outrage.

Bud Selig is the worst commissioner in sports.
Didn't he own the Brewers though?

Selig was the one who brought baseball to Milwaukee. And he also helped get the funds to build Miller Park.

bud selig derserved the statue for what he did for the city of milwaukee by bringing baseball back to milwaukee after the braves left and getting miller park built. I think that's the reason why we put a statue of him up. I don't think it has to do with what he has done as a commissioner.
