Commissioner of Baseball Dear Friends and Colleagues: Baseball is fortunate to occupy a special place in our culture, which presents invaluable opportunities to all of us. Major League Baseball’s 2018 Community Affairs Report demonstrates the breadth of our game’s efforts to make a difference for our fans and communities. The 30 Major League Clubs work tirelessly to entertain and to build teams worthy of fan support. Yet their missions go much deeper. Each Club aims to be a model corporate citizen that gives back to its community. Additionally, Major League Baseball is honored to support the important work of core partners such as Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the Jackie Robinson Foundation and Stand Up To Cancer. We are proud to use our platform to lift spirits, to create legacies and to show young people that the magic of our great game is not limited to the field of play. As you will see in the pages that follow, MLB and its Clubs will always strive to make the most of the exceptional moments that we collectively share. Sincerely, Robert D. Manfred, Jr. Commissioner 245 Park Avenue, 31st Floor, New York, NY 10167 (212) 931-7800 LEGENDS Jackie Robinson Day Major League Baseball commemorated the 70th anniversary of the legendary Hall of Famer breaking baseball’s color barrier in 1947 with all players and on-field personnel again wearing Number 42.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

    Learn more about Garry Maddox Compete 360 Compete 360’s goal is to foster a design thinking practice in city schools by training teachers, facilitating student-led, projects and hosting DT Philly – an event where students present their work to a panel of judges, where three teams can earn grants to support project implementation. In order to complete in a DT Philly project, students will select a need they identify in their school, community or the world around them. They move through the five phases of design thinking: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test, to develop a creative, viable and desirable solution to the design problem. Design thinking actively connects what students do in school to what goes on in the world around them. Youth Golf & Academics Program The Youth Golf & Academics Program (YGAP), a non-profit organization founded by former Phillies centerfielder Garry Maddox, was established to provide academic support and enrichment services to children in grades K through 5 who reside in troubled city neighborhoods. Over the course of six years, YGAP served over 500 children, all of whom were members of a racial or ethnic minority group and lived in low- income, high-crime neighborhoods. Founded in the year 2000, YGAP collaboratively worked with parents and schools to support children’s education, and provide other resources to children and families (school uniform vouchers, Thanksgiving food baskets, and Christmas presents) as circumstances permit. Garry Maddox – Drew Katz Celebrity Bowling Classic 2013 marked the 27th, annual Garry Maddox – Drew Katz Celebrity Bowling Classic. This event began in the 1970’s when Garry responded to a request to visit a child at a local hospital shortly after he was traded from the San Francisco Giants, to the Philadelphia Phillies.
