New MLB commissioner
Rob Manfred is
really starting to grow on us. Think about it, by contrast, lame NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell selected the
Microsoft Surface as the preferred sideline tablet for his sport. Manfred on the other hand has just
selected the far superior (and much cooler) Apple iPad for use by Major League Baseball. Based on the new multi-year agreement, every team will be given
iPad Pro tablets—pre-loaded with every geek-inspired analytic imaginable. While use of the
iPads is optional, we're sure every dugout will be displaying them prominently for the television cameras. Take
that,
Bill Gates.
