What they do with Yankees players is excessive.

The NBA markets their handful of star players because they have nothing else to market – their actual product is garbage. Every NFL game is 3.5 hours of solid boredom- it’s like watching babies crying and attorneys arguing.

Anyone who thinks baseball needs to market more like the NFL and NBA is a purveyor of bad taste. I’ve come to expect that from ESPN employees.
