Why does Major League Baseball give more money to Democrats? Homer Derby points out, with a detailed chart, that MLB’s PAC did so even before they had the Congressional majority.

Every election cycle since its inception, MLB’s PAC has given more to Democratic candidates than Republican ones. And considering the 70/30 discrepancy in the 2008 cycle … it seems that MLB wants to help the Democrats keep their majorities in the Senate and House for 2009 and beyond.

And then there’s Bud Selig:

Interestingly, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has never contributed to MLB’s PAC. But he’s a pretty active political donor in his own right.
Over the past 12 years, Selig has contributed over $85,000 to political candidates and organizations – 96% to Democrats. Mostly in the form of $70,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and $6,600 to his good friend, Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd.
