MLB Advanced Media - the interactive media and internet company of Major League Baseball - will carry the testimony to be heard by the House Judiciary Committee from Washington on MLB.com.
In addition to Commissioner Selig, Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura,
Minnesota Twins president Jerry Bell, and Marianne McGettigan, an attorney for the MLB Players Association will also testify, and their testimony relayed on the internet.
The bipartisan bill that would remove part of professional baseball's antitrust exemption was offered in response to plans by Major League Baseball to fold two teams.
Although the teams have not been identified, they are widely expected to be the Minnesota Twins and the Montreal Expos.
Three Democratic senators, nine Democratic House members and three Republican House members offered the legislation on both sides of Capitol Hill on November 14.
Robert DuPuy, Major League Baseball's chief legal officer, said at the time the legislation could wreak havoc on the sport.
Congressional proponents of the bill have portrayed baseball's decision to eliminate two teams as a betrayal of fans and unacceptable.
They have also noted that baseball is the only business in the US that is exempt from federal antitrust laws without being subject to alternative regulatory supervision.
The bill is tailored to take away only baseball's exemption from antitrust laws in folding or moving teams from one city to another. It would leave intact all other existing antitrust exemptions, including those relating to minor league baseball.
