Serious question: Does anyone outside of serious MLB fans know who he is? I only know from ST, so I wonder. -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 14:15 12
- I showed Theresa the drawings the guy is doing of him every day of the lockout and she had no idea who he was and never heard of him. - Krusty Jan 25, 15:01 1
  - I hesitate to say this but… - Will Hunting Jan 25, 16:04
- Any baseball fan knows who he is or they aren’t a baseball fan. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 25, 14:15 9
  - Gotcha. I mean like Griffey Jr was known outside of MLB fans, McGwire, Sosa, etc. Is he that level? More IM - MDH Jan 25, 14:21 8
    - He's notorious for basically going out of his way not to be promoted but he's a 3 time MVP and any casual North American fan of the big 4 should know - Reagen Jan 25, 14:27 7
      - Non-sports fans don't know him like they should or would if he was marketed better or cared to be marketed better. Plenty of athletes are known by - Krusty Jan 25, 15:02 1

      - ie He plays for the team where you can kick back and just play it safe. Never have to worry about being competitive. -- nm - Jovian Jan 25, 14:36 4
        
        Uh, no? Like not using social media or even old school media for self promotion. Rarely makes comments on the game or other players - JD Jan 25, 14:50 3
        
        His biggest claim to 'fame' is he's an avid weather geek from New Jersey. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 25, 14:52 2
        
        Now we're just making things up. "Oh yeah, Mike Trout, he's also helping out the DOJ 1/6 investigative team in his free time" -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 15:04 1
        
        prove he isn't! -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 15:19
