Manfred to succeed Selig as MLB commissioner next year
Print Edition
ROB Manfred was elected baseball’s 10th commissioner in Baltimore on Thursday, winning a three-man competition to succeed Bud Selig.
The 55-year-old Manfred, who has worked for Major League Baseball in roles with ever-increasing authority since 1998, will take over from the 80-year-old Selig on January 25. It’s a generational change much like the NBA undertook when Adam Silver, then 51, replaced 71-year-old David Stern as commissioner in February. And like Silver, he was his boss’s pick. Manfred beat Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner in the first contested vote for a new commissioner in 46 years. The third candidate, MLB Executive Vice President of Business Tim Brosnan, dropped out just before the start of balloting.
Selig has led baseball since September 1992, first as chairman of the sport’s executive council following Fay Vincent’s resignation and as boss since July 1998.
