MLB: The 5 Most Exciting Players in Baseball

As an avid baseball fan one thing that always gets me shaking my head is when non-baseball fans say how boring and slow the game is.

While I believe that every team has players that you shouldn’t miss seeing, and every game has moments that suspend belief; if you truly are a baseball fan trying to convince another sports fan of baseball’s superior quality don’t miss the opportunity to bring up these five men. These are the five players in Major League Baseball that you can’t afford to miss seeing at least once this season.
