We're slowly bringing you guys into this whole baseball thing a little at a time.

When you can finally tell the difference between a snowball and a baseball....you get a different cover guy.

I've always wanted WBC teams added to the show. Any chance one of you have asked the Sony guys why it's not made available?

Reyes fever is here in the great white north, hard to find a jersey around here that isnt xxl, but I get it he hasnt actually played yet.
Very happy its NOT Lawrie though that kid needs to wake up, dont care if hes canadian,
Would have preferred Dickey if we want to discuss the new additions...

We can definitely ask, but I'm pretty sure it ends up being a licensing issue, with Konami holding the rights.

Meh, Lawrie would have made sense because he's a Canadian, on Canada's team, an up and coming young talent, and to avoid Jose again.

Caberra or Posey should've been on the cover not a guy who's had one good year on a losing team.

I only expressed my opinion. Pure and simple. At least, I did not used any sarcasm in my comment.

I don't know, should we hold it against the Americans cause they don't know how to fly a flag? They will find ways to embarrass themselves, Rogers replayed the 92 World Series and Americans thought their jokes were hilarious but had to apologize for pretty much all of it.

McCutchen was a good pick, and although EE had a break out year Bautista is still the big name for jays (after the big trade, dunno)

But lawrie already being suspended for acting like a baby isn't much of what you're looking for in a cover guy (surprised Miggy was asked even tho he won a triple crown. The guy has bad legal history and obviously bad judgement)

As stated before, knight had some good reasons for mcCutch that I agreed with

Just one of the many flaws (not worth getting into any more of discussion, but people should not be so flippant about commenting on another country, light hearted or not, it pushes the wrong buttons.

Love the Bautista decision. The more he's involved with the game, the better.

One of these 3 will be the Canadian cover:

Away jersey:


Home jersey:


Canada Day jersey(which is worn on July 1st)



I like Canada day jersey the best, and it's gonna win the poll, but sorta strange to see a jersey which is only worn for 1/162 games a year being the one featured on the cover.

I feel like the third one, where the bat is fully visible, is the most interesting stance... but that uniform is blah, and his facial expression is even blah-er.

I had to go take a second look but yes! You're absolutely right lol his mustache looks 3D on that side.

I like the first cover the best by far. It represents the team well and looks the most like he is actually hitting a ball. The third one looks like he is hitting fly balls for practice. I would have still liked to see one of him in his stance pre pitch, I feel that is the most recognizable thing about Bautista. He has a certain intimidating look of confidence in the box and that is what I associate with him.

I third one is just why? They wore that jersey once. If I was a Toronto fan I would want the home jersey that is worn most often. Its like with McCutchen, I wish they used the home Pirates jersey instead of the Home alternate. I associate the Pirates team with the white home jersey.

If they put Rizzo or Castro on the cover some day I'd feel the same way. I'd want the white home jerseys and not the blue alternates. Its awesome to get McCutchen on the cover if you're a Pirates fan, but as a fan I want it to be a representation of the team since it is so rare to get your team on the cover.
