Baseball one may be a bit hard.
I don't know many of the players for a start.
I am flat out naming more than two or three from the Atlanta Braves even though I follow them, haha.

SYDNEY has emerged as a leading contender to host the NBL's pre-season tournament next month to possibly coincide with the league's re-launch for 2013-14 and beyond.
Plans to stage the event, featuring all eight NBL clubs, in Port Hedland or Dandenong appear to have hit hurdles making Sydney an attractive option.
For starters, it means two teams - the Kings and Wollongong Hawks - would not need air fares, it is central for the remaining clubs and an easy port of call for reigning champion New Zealand.
The WA Government had shown interest in financially assisting a pre-season tournament in Port Hedland in the north-west of the state but some of the proposed funding has not eventuated.
It also was considered by some to perhaps be a little too "out of the way" for the NBL at a time when it is trying to rebuild and reconnect with mainstream popularity.
The WNBL will stage its pre-season tournament at Dandenong Stadium from September 20-22.
Last year the NBL and WNBL both staged their pre-season tournaments in Dandenong, creating the unique situation where all 17 elite-level basketball teams in Australia were under one roof.
A lack of publicity in Melbourne though meant it was anything but the spectacle or launch the NBL had envisioned, making it unlikely to revisit the format in this, its breakaway season from under the auspices of Basketball Australia.
"We're exploring the possibility of playing it in Sydney," interim NBL chief executive officer Steve Dunn said today.
"That way it could coincide with the re-launch of the league.
"We'd be looking at bringing in past champions as well to assist us - people such as Leroy Loggins and Cal Bruton for example. "
The NBL clubs already have locked in the same dates as the WNBL - September 20-22 - for their pre-season tournament but the showcase also would involve greater engagement with the public in the days leading up to the matches.
"We have a few ideas on the drawing board and we'll release those to the public as we confirm them," Dunn said.

I agree Snowman,
I became a big fan of Corin Henry, I was shattered we let him go.
He looked good before he got injured imo.
