Face of baseball might be a stretch for any of th current players. Most kids outside of baseball don’t really know Trout, but Jeter, Griffey crossed over. If you asked a baseball fan who is the best athlete in football they would say Brady. If you asked a baseball fan who is the best in basketball they would say LeBron. If you asked a baseball fan who is the best in baseball there would be lots of debate.
Most people would not agree on the best in baseball because they have too many dang stats. I still don’t get WAR and all those stats. Winning is the ultimate thing people judge the best on and not individual stats. Like it or not, Trout is great, but how many times has he been to the Big Dance?
It is not Wins Above Replacement that matter, but at the end of the season woh is Wearing A Ring.
