10 Wishes for Baseball’s 10th Commissioner

by
January 12, 2015

On Sunday, Jan. 25, Robert D. Manfred Jr. will officially become baseball’s 10th commissioner. We thought it would be nice to commemorate his taking the mantle of baseball’s most public figurehead with some advice. So, for the next 10 (business) days here at The Hardball Times, we’re going to be running a series of posts. The theme of it is simple — 10 things we hope baseball improves upon under its 10th commissioner.

Now, obviously being commissioner won’t give Manfred carte blanche to enact whatever change he wants. But he’ll have more say than most, and so we thought now would be a good time to throw in our two–or 10–cents. Alex Remington gets us started today with his recommendations for how to improve the user experience at the ballpark. That is just one in a wide-ranging set of topics we have in store, and in addition to our great staff of writers, we have some special guests lined up as well. I don’t want to spoil the surprises–mainly because I like surprises, and I hope that you will too. So check back with us each day! I’ll update this post with each link as it’s published, so you’ll have one spot you can come to in order to grab the whole series quickly.

My wish is that the entire sport decides to call him “The Red Baron”
