Rob Manfred Banned by Collegiate Summer League Team for Opposing 'Fun' in Baseball

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has become an enemy for many baseball fans across the country, and that has apparently extended to the Northwoods League.

The Kalamazoo Growlers, a collegiate summer league team, issued a lifetime ban against Manfred on Friday:

It comes after the league rival Bismarck Larks issued Manfred with a ban until the MLB lockout was resolved.
