As discussed in Part 1 of our “Letters to Rob Manfred” series, the game of baseball is doing just fine. In fact, it’s doing better than fine, it’s making a lot of money. So why is the commissioner messing with the game?
In my first letter, I implored Manfred to do a better job hyping the game and reaching out to fans of the internet age. People don’t consume media the same way they used to, and baseball isn’t nearly as good as its professional sports counterparts. While I focused primarily on hyping the game itself in my initial letter, my second missive will beseech the commish to specifically use the star power at his disposal.
