Let’s say Rob Manfred resigned as MLB Commissioner today, or was otherwise removed from the office.
Yes, I know. A dream come true.
Obviously, this is not gonna happen. But let’s say it did.
That’s the premise behind this question I found on Twitter:
If you could pick anyone to be the next MLB commissioner, who would you choose?

There are quite a few replies to that tweet, some serious, most not. Among the serious suggestions: Doug Glanville, Bob Kendrick (the head of the Negro Leagues Museum, if you are not familiar with him), Mike Scioscia and Cal Ripken Jr.
