The Padres commissioned a portrait of Bud Selig and it’s creepy
Hey, San Diego Padres, you guys were already awarded the All-Star game for 2016, you don’t have to keep falling over yourselves to show Bud Selig that’s he the most swell commissioner ever in the history of sports.
The Padres, you might remember, already renamed a plaza after Selig at Petco Park. Many people thought that was part of an elbowing up to Selig so they could get the Midsummer Classic. Whether that was the motive or not, the game is theirs.
And now, as we countdown Selig’s final days (new commish Rob Manfred takes over Sunday), the Padres have hung a portrait of Selig near their offices at Petco Park. It’s, ummmm, something.
Granted, a Twitter picture isn’t the best way to show off a piece of art, but from what we see, it’s not the most flattering picture of good ol’ Bud. It’s creepy even. His eyes are a bit close together, his nose seems big and his hands are extra veiny.
It’s almost like the artist started to paint Selig then switched to Emperor Palpatine from “Star Wars” instead. No Dark Side jokes from us. You can do that yourself, and we’re sure you will down there in that comment section.
