In the absence of any source for a date of birth that I can find, while
this edit is at least acceptable within the confines of the data reported, it's still problematic. The cited ESPN and Associated Press reports give Manfred's age at publication as 55, but there's nothing corroborating it; there is literally no independent reason to expect that these reports didn't simply lift his age from the mlb.com bio posted 11 months previously. He may turn 56 within the next few weeks; he may have celebrated that birthday late last year, making 1957 his birth year. I won't revert the edit, but it seems too much conjecture until we have some
verification. —

The Reference section takes up almost as much space as the article. I like this. What a well sourced article. It should be commended officially.

As far as I know, the job title is still Commissioner of Baseball, not "Commissioner of Major League Baseball," unless Manfred has demoted himself.

Of course he does not have jurisdiction over Japanese, Korean, and other organizations. But according to the article
Commissioner of Baseball, he still has responsibility for all the professional leagues under "Organized Baseball," not just the major league(s). So "Commissioner of Major League Baseball" doesn't accurately describe the scope of his job either. But regardless of the extent of his jurisdiction, the official title has been Commissioner of Baseball. If the formal title has changed, that raises the question of when it changed, and who would have been the last person with the title of Commissioner of Baseball. The listing at mlb.com refers to to "The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball"
[2], and "Commissioner of Baseball" here:
[3]. So there does seem to still be official use of the original title.

Should be added to 2021 All Star Game Relocation... Rob Manfred is a member at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. Numerous Republicans, including Senator Rubio and Governor Kemp have noted the hypocrisy of Manfred maintaining his personal membership at a Georgia based golf club while unilaterally using his power as commissioner to movie MLB events out of Georgia. Thus far, Manfred has not commented on the matter.

I check pages listed in
Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for
orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of
Rob Manfred's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs.

I just tagged the section as
WP:UNDUE. Much of the section has nothing to do with him. I deleted a sentence about "Reverse Boycott II". and a paragraph that was about John Fisher.
