Manfred honored at Lou Gehrig Sports Awards

Commissioner Rob Manfred was presented with the Jacob K. Javits Lifetime Achievement Award at the 23rd annual Lou Gehrig Sports Awards Benefit on Thursday night. As he spoke to a ballroom of about 600 people supporting the New York chapter of the ALS Association in the urgent fight against the disease that took Gehrig’s life, the parents of Pete Frates watched with reassuring pride from their seats at Manfred’s table.
