Le Moyne College hosts baseball executive for start of Madden Institute Lecture Series

The 2002-03 Madden Institute Lecture Series at Le Moyne College began with a home run. Robert D. Manfred Jr., executive vice president of labor relations and human resources for Major League Baseball, spoke to students, faculty and the general public at the school’s Panasci Family Chapel on Nov. 21 about “Collective Bargaining and the Culture of America.” Manfred was instrumental in working with the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) during the 2002 season and preventing a work stoppage.

To be chosen to win a computer package, schools first must be nominated and then entered into a random drawing. Casey Sprock, a former student of St. Peter’s, nominated his alma mater. He and Sister Rosaire were at the drawing, held at the New York State Fair, when St. Peter’s won the grand prize of $5000 worth of equipment.
