Changing of the Guard

Today baseball starts a new chapter in it's 146 year history  as Rob Manfred becomes the tenth Commissioner of Major League Baseball


Commissioner Manfred succeeds Bud Selig, who had been baseball's leader since September,  1992.



As a baseball fan I'm excited to see what the game will become under Commissioner Manfred, a life long baseball who seems to be humbled by his new position.




                                From MLB.COM home page.



The new Robert D. Manfred Jr. baseball's are all ready to go for the 2015 season.






I need to get a Alan "Bud" Selig baseball.
