Today, MLB announced the launch of the Commissioner’s Ambassador Program, a new effort featuring 12 highly accomplished former players who will participate in Major League Baseball programs, represent the game at MLB events, and support the league’s international growth, MLB Together community activations, and Baseball and Softball Development programs.
The group of 12 players combined for eight World Series Championships, three MVPs, two Rookie of the Year awards, 28 All-Star appearances, eight Silver Sluggers, and 20 Gold Gloves across their total of 175 seasons of Major League experience.
Commissioner Manfred said: “We are thrilled to begin our Ambassador Program, which will highlight the impact that former players continue to have. Their active participation in our initiatives will keep them close to the game and help us advance Major League Baseball in the future. I appreciate this group’s great enthusiasm to support the game’s growth for the next generation of fans.” Congratulations to all the selected stars ⚾️
