Rob Manfred says ‘hello!’ to Erin Andrews with MVP bat (Video)

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred was in charge of his first ever All-Star Game MVP trophy presentation on Tuesday night, and it went to a worthy recipient in Mike Trout. There’s just one small piece of advice we’d give Manfred for next time — watch where you’re pointing that bat.

At one point while he as congratulating Trout, Manfred damn near gave Andrews a “hello!” with the trophy, if you know what we mean. Here’s the entire sequence:

Credit to Andrews, who barely broke stride. Between this and the playful smack Pete Rose gave Ken Rosenthal, people sure were feeling friendly in Cincinnati.
