Tbh the MLB should be pushing Bryce Harper WAYYY more than they do.

Its all about nostalgia and the black & white grainy footage in promoting baseball. I haven't seen the league promote a player or ride a coattail since Sosa & McGwire back in the day.

They talk about Bryce plenty from what I can see. Baseball just isn't seem as a "cool" sport at the moment and honestly during my short time on earth it never has been by the urban youth. Except for when cats were looking like gladiators smacking 50 plus homers like it was nothing.

Bryce Harper doesn't have a likable personality.

It's not always the best players who become the faces of a sport.
The man they should try and push into the national spotlight a bit more is Giancarlo Stanton.

But I suspect Kris Bryant will shoot up into the national consciousness pretty quickly.

mike trout isn't very marketable, he has a ugly neck and a very punchable face

They do push him. And I don't think the MLB cares about being cool honestly.

He hits monster home runs and has a 325 million dollar contract.
They better know who the fukk he is.

To be fair, he's off to a horrible start and needs to play better.
