Who are 5 of the best players to never grace the cover of MLB: The Show?

Who are some of the best players that have never been on the cover of the best MLB video game franchise?

Recently, San Diego Studios released the new cover athlete for MLB: The Show and that got me thinking, who are some of the best players that have never been on the cover of the best MLB video game franchise?

For reference, here’s the list of all of the cover athletes for MLB: The Show starting back in 1998. I noticed there were a few big names left out to shout out.

Keep in mind, that these are just my opinions! A lot of you may disagree on a few of these. Before we get into it, I’ll tell you the teams these five players played for to see if you can guess them.

No. 5 – St. Louis Cardinals

No. 4 – Arizona Diamondbacks

No. 3 – San Diego Padres

No. 2 – New York Yankees

No. 1 – Los Angeles Angels

Patrick Corbin’s pitch nearly collided with a butterfly in a mesmerizing moment

Washington Nationals pitcher Patrick Corbin nearly had a Randy Johnson moment.

Washington Nationals pitcher Patrick Corbin nearly had a Randy Johnson moment. Corbin threw a pitch on Sunday that nearly hit a butterfly, not unlike the time Johnson’s pitch collided with and killed a bird during game action.

Thankfully, Corbin’s throw did not end that butterfly. It looked like the velocity of the ball was enough to push the insect away from the collision. You can see the bug suddenly move away from the ball at the last moment. It made for a wild piece of video, with the ball rocketing toward the butterfly — only to see the ball break down and the bug move upward.

I. Can’t. Stop. Watching. It.
