A bud sport is a part of a plant or tree — for example, a leaf, shoot or flower — which due to a genetic mutation clearly differs from the rest of the plant, and which can also be grafted to grow new plants which retain this genetic difference.

A budsport is a part of a plant or tree, for example, a leaf, shoot or flower, which due to a genetic mutation clearly differs from the rest of the plant, and which can also be grafted to grow new plants which retain this genetic difference as a new cultivar.
An example of a budsport is the nectarine, which is thought to have developed from a budsport from a peach.
Budsports can also happen to garden plants, where for example a pink flower can appear on a genetically white-flowered plant.
That's why I say Bud Selig is a good commissioner not the greatest of all time in any sport, but also not the bumbling incompetent boob he is usually made out to be.
David Stern presides over the sport that we were told was the boom sport of the 1990s when really it was the sport that Michael Jordan carried through the 1990s.
Maybe it's time to put Bud Selig's time in office in a more global perspective and try to overcome the knee-jerk reaction that he is an ignorant bumpkin whenever he does something.
