A few seats remain for Sept. 28 Kalb Report with baseball commissioner

Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred will be host Marvin Kalb’s guest for a one-on-one discussion to explore the beauty, simplicity, complexity, humor and historical significance of Our National Pastime on Sept. 28 at the National Press Club.

The program, a taping of the "Kalb Report," begins sharply at 8 p.m. in the ballroom. The audience should be seated at least 15 minutes ahead of time. Admission is free but seats are limited. Club members can reserve by calling the Front Desk 202-662-7500.

Manfred has served as a MLB executive since 1998 and became the league's tenth commissioner in January. He has lost no time in instituting his own ideas of how to improve the game.

A lifetime baseball fan, Kalb said this interview offers him a unique opportunity to examine the game. “I have but an hour of his time, and a lifetime of questions,” he said.
