ESPN does publish it every year now. Not sure how long ago they started.

But take Trout if you didn't watch ESPN or national coverage of games then Even the average baseball fan won't hear his name.

Baseball is primarily local/regional tv coverage of games for many many markets.

No other media is covering baseball in America. Maybe Harper cause of free agency and huge contract will pop up in other coverage now.

Average American baseball fan basically knows just there local team. Average person even less. Now the above average person and fantasy baseball player they know more they are the ones subscribing to MLB game coverage. But they are few.

While the average person has heard of a good top 10-20 nfl, NBA, and about 5 soccer, golf even NASCAR players.

Cause there names enter the business world and entertainment worlds which covers the majority of others.

But MLB and NHL in America? Nope. None of their players get covered or talked about in non sports outlets.

While everyone knows LeBron, Durant, curry, Brady.

It's a actually pretty said for MLB and NHL. NBA has over taken MLB in popularity now. NBA moves merchandise.

MLB I don't think I've seen a baseball player in a commercial in 15 years.
