	NetShrine Discussion Forum - Leave It, Do Beeston
		Paul Beeston, Major League Baseball's second-highest-ranking official and its chief representative during secret labor negotiations last spring, told a Toronto newspaper he is leaving baseball at an unspecified date.
		According to the Washington Post, baseball sources said Beeston's departure is not tied to the state of negotiations with the union, and Beeston has indicated to associates that he intends to remain with Major League Baseball until a collective bargaining agreement is reached.
		Beeston, who joined the commissioner's office in 1997 from the Toronto Blue Jays, has retained his role in union negotiations, but Selig's action in June was widely viewed as removing much of the authority from Beeston and Manfred.

	JS Online: Beeston a casualty in labor-management battles
		Because Beeston remained silent about his reasons for leaving, a story circulated that he quit because Selig undermined his attempts to reach a labor deal during secret negotiations with the union last spring.
		At one time, Beeston actually had hope of fostering a new age of partnership and cooperation between owners and the union, but he soon learned that will never happen.
		Beeston did become frustrated, in part because he tried to inject reason into an unreasonable process that has resulted in eight consecutive work interruptions.

		And in certain respects we had to start over a bit after last June, when his authority was effectively ended by the commissioner--about a year ago, then it was seven months or so before he eventually left.
		I believe, although Paul can speak for himself, that was his view also.
		And then back in June a year ago we made a proposal which I'm reasonably confident that Paul wanted to make a counterproposal to, and he could never get the authority from the commissioner to do that.

	IS BUD SELIG ON DECK AS BASEBALL'S OFFICIAL COMMISH?
		Beeston and Selig are close friends, and many baseball observers see Beeston's appointment as a sign that Selig wants to stay on as the big dog.
		Now, as his deputy, "maybe I could make him see this isn't all that bad a deal for the next few years." Beeston's hiring could pave the way for Selig to remain commissioner without leaving Milwaukee -- something he has been reluctant to do ever since he was named acting commissioner.
		A lifelong Canadian known for his aversion to wearing socks and his affinity for cigars, Beeston left his accounting job at Coopers & Lybrand in 1976 to be the Blue Jays' first employee.
