OAKLAND, Calif. - Bud Selig will likely leave his tenure as baseball commissioner early next year with one unsettled situation that has him "frustrated." The Oakland Athletics still dont have the new ballpark he says he believes they desperately need. Selig praised all parties after the As recently reached a 10-year lease agreement with the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority to stay at the rundown Coliseum. Whether the As are able to one day build a new stadium at the current Coliseum site or elsewhere in Oakland, Selig will support the teams ideas. "This is always something I wanted to get resolved before I leave office, which is another 5 1/2 or six months," Selig said Tuesday, citing litigation as the current snag. "Ive always said the local club, they know their market best." Sitting next to fraternity brother and longtime friend, As owner Lew Wolff, Selig acknowledged the criticisms of Oaklands ballpark situation while saying, "Its complicated, its very complicated." Earlier this year, the City of San Jose appealed a judges decision throwing out a key argument in its lawsuit against Major League Baseball over the As plans to relocate to San Jose, where the San Francisco Giants hold territorial rights. At the January 2012 owners meetings, Selig said the Bay Area situation was on the "front burner." He appointed a committee in March 2009 to study the issues facing the teams, but never ruled on the matter. "I know theres been criticism about the length this has taken. Im proud of everything weve done the last 22 years, but this is one of those things as I look back on it, however, its complicated, its very complicated," Selig said. "Now we have litigation, so everything is now on hold. Thats just a fact of life once we get in litigation. But let me say at the outset, this team needs a new ballpark. ... Once the litigations resolved, then well all proceed." Rob Manfred will succeed the 80-year-old Selig on Jan. 25. Selig is making stops at all of the ballparks during his farewell tour. He said Manfred is up to speed on the challenges for the low-budget As, who have won the past two AL West titles. "Theyve done a remarkable job under the circumstances," Selig said. "One of the reasons for the resurgence of this sport, there are multiple reasons, are the new stadiums. ... I wish it had been resolved. I understand peoples frustrations, I do understand. Theres a lot of history here." Selig met with club officials during his short visit. Oaklands Bob Melvin was eager to get some time with Selig, who helped the manager get a job with Milwaukee after his playing days. Melvin had quite a connection: His late great-aunt, Estie, played bridge with Seligs parents. "Its quite the industry at this point now. Hes made a lot of changes in his tenure, whether starting with interleague, the competitive balance now and the strides that they took getting it to this point, instant replay," Melvin said. "Theres a lot of things hes done that for an old-school guy has really had an eye on some of the new-school things. Its been an incredible run."
