The request for Rob Manfred to sign a baseball has fans in consternation

The request for Rob Manfred to sign a baseball has fans in a complete rage.

That’s not what you’re seeing, no. Rob Manfred was asked to autograph a baseball.

Let’s give the kid some leeway, though; he probably has no idea that he just gave his ball to the devil.

The reaction from the followers on Twitter was negative. Can you really blame them?

Rob Manfred was mocked by fans on Twitter

These are a few of the social media responses.

He is indicating if the ball is a dead or homerun ball. Of course, he’s putting his own dmn name on the ball out of ego,” someone said on Twitter.

Another supporter remarked, “His autograph is already on the ball, though.”

Someone made a joke, “It’s on eBay already. Manfred took it back once the camera moved away.”

What serious baseball fan wants that a**hole’s autograph, he said? Another supporter wrote.

Someone remarked, “I don’t know, a Manfred/Pete Rose co-signed ball would be really humorous.”

No matter what happens, Manfred will never be able to erase the nostalgia associated with the Field of Dreams game.
