Mark Cuban appeared on the Jay Leno show on Thursday and was asked about the Alex Rodriguez suspension, which invoked his experience in trying to buy a Major League Baseball team.
"Horrible," said Cuban. "I think it's disgraceful what major league baseball is trying to do to him. Not that he doesn't deserve to be suspended. He does. But they have policies in place, first-time offender 50 games, second time a 100. 214 games? That's personal. My experiences with Major League Baseball. It's basically become Bud Selig's mafia. He runs it the way he wants to run it. When I was trying to buy the Rangers, it was an open auction. I sat in there with my good, hard-earned money trying to bid and they did everything possible to keep me from buying the team. They had lawyers in there trying to change the rules, they had people trying to put up more money. For him to come out and attack A-Rod the way he did and do something totally outside the rules."
