PHOENIX — Baseball has been very good to former commissioner Bug Selig and Selig has been very good to the Phoenix Art Museum.

Selig donated $2.5 million to the central Phoenix museum this week, to be used to create the position of chief curator, the museum announced Thursday.

Congrats @phxart on receiving funding for a Chief Curator. Thx Suzanne + Bud Selig for this transformational contribution to our museum.
