Two Baseball Clubs Impose Heavy Rules Against Commissioner Rob Manfred as MLB Lockout Drags On

The past few months have not been great for the game of baseball. Notably, when the owners and players couldn’t reach an agreement for the new CBA, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred canceled a few games of the regular season. And it is not a good sign for baseball.

However, when MLB is in the lockout, baseball fans have an alternative. They can watch college-level baseball games, and even there are some independent leagues for fans. However, that is not the case for MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred.

Earlier this week, two college-level baseball teams have banned Manfred from entering their stadiums.
