Rumors the Dave Dombrowski received some love during the vote. But in the end, Manfred had a 30-0 vote.

Who this guy is but Go Dodgers !!!!

I love baseball but his first move needs to be making the All Star Game an exhibition game and not something that determines the home field advantage in the WS.

were known as deuces when tricked out as hot rods.
I'll let you guess about the rest of the double entendres.
Some silicone sister
with a manager mister
told me I got what it takes
She said
"I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart
was checkin' out the weather chart
see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly
came by in his curly-wurly
and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride

Baseball is awash in money right now. Why not try to keep going with more of the same? I do hope that he doesn't have Selig's strange aversion to paying draft picks market price, but I think it will be a while before that is reversed.

Too soon to ask him about Pete Rose to the HOF?
August 15th, 2014 at 11:02 AM ^
Pete and the HOF should never happen. The PED cheaters deserve to get in before Pete Rose. Baseball lost a World Series to gambling.

Is baseball going to give back its profits and popularity gained due to the roiders that they promoted?

Of course it did. 162 baseball games vs. 16 football games will do that. It doesn't mean baseball's the more popular sport.

This article basically illustrates how baseball was doing poorly after the 1994 strike. Attendance/revenues were down. One of the biggest factors in bringing baseball back (and surpassing for that matter) was MLB's promotion of the chase of the HR record by McGwire and Sosa as well as Bonds surpassing what they had done a few seasons after. MLB, headed by Selig, capitalized off of what these men were doing on the field while completely ignoring what they were doing off of it regarding PED's. Now they get to play dumb and act like they didn't know it was happening while it was happening, while getting to pretend like they're heroes for cleaning up the game.

Are you arguing the reason the NFL is more popular than MLB is because baseball players used steroids?

As a baseball enthusiast, part of me was intrigued by the idea of Dave Dombrowski being the commissioner of the sport, but as a Tigers fan, the other half of me in no way wanted that to happen for admittedly selfish reasons. I do find it interesting, if I am looking at this right, that Selig's technical tenure is second only to the first commissioner - Kenesaw Mountain Landis.

I'm gonna let you finish, but Manfred is one of the greatest YouTube personalities of all time!

Last time baseball changed commissioners there was a strike. Let's see if we can avoid that next year.
