    Getting To Know Rob Manfred

    Rob Manfred wants you to know: He doesn't hate baseball, he wants to save it

    Can one of baseball's most hated men usher the game into a brighter future by returning it to its glorious past?

    My quest to answer that question began in an Iowa cornfield.

    Interesting article. But I’m not sure he’s the right guy to increase MLB’s popularity though. He comes across as a button-downed conservative lawyer-type. I think he loves the game but just like Selig before him, he serves the owners and not the game itself. Much of the article documents his missteps (such as social medias role in the latest labor strife) but I think he has learned a lot. Time will tell if he re-ups at the end of his term in 2024.

    That's exactly the way I see it.

    There’s a lot of information to digest there! That’s practically a book.
