The Literary Criticism Of Bud Selig

Here is an excerpt of an interview with Bud Selig. This part of the interview was not included in the final article (The author's name, the publication are omitted to protect my anonymous source. But don't doubt it: its real). Here Selig weighs in on baseball and 20th century post-war American literature:



Q: Are you at all aware of Jack Kerouac's baseball connection?

Selig: No.

Q: Do you know who Jack Kerouac is?

Selig: No.

Q: I didn’t think so.

Selig: Do you?

Q: Of course. He was one of the great Beat writers of all time. He wrote a book called On The Road.

Selig: I know every beat writer in the land. Where was he a beat writer?

Q: Not a beat, Beat, like a Beat poet.

Selig: Oh. Oh, that’s a different story. One thing about (interviewer) that you can always count on, he is a purveyor of more useless information than any human being I’ve ever met.
