Not as impossible as it sounds. MLB didn't have 1 player in top 100 known/famous athletes the last several years.
And it got beat out by swimming and other world type sports players aka cricket.
And I think the highest rated famous MLB player is Harper. Because he gets at least some media coverage.
No one outside of baseball fans knows who trout is unless your from Philly area. He gets zero media coverage.
In fact the average person couldn't even name the top 5 mlb players. Skill wise or popularity wise.
Think of the other major USA sports even non sports fan can name their top 5 famous players. Cause all media covers them from entertainment to tabloids to sports.
