Mark Attanasio was as surprised as anyone reading the news clips over the weekend.
The Milwaukee Brewers principal owner’s phone was flooded with messages Sunday after a report from Bob Nightengale of USA Today indicated that he was a prime candidate of other owners to become the commissioner of Major League Baseball in the not-too-distant future.
“There is no clear-cut favorite to become MLB commissioner after Rob Manfred retires in Jan. 2029, but several owners say they plan to push for owner Mark Attanasio of the Milwaukee Brewers to be his successor,” wrote USA Today.
