[21]

Why do I get a stomach ache looking at so many of these guys? And do you suppose SBJ intentionally chose really bad pictures of so many of them?

You have to click through a few levels to get all 50, but here's a head start: no surprise, the top 5 includes 3 media people.

Actually, that's the most credible part of the list, recognizing that NBC/Comcast merger could ultimately marginalize (or at least neutralize) the power of ESPN. Good for the entire media industry.

Would rather read Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects list. Much, much more useful.

Jeanie Buss looked good. That's enough for me.

I'm surprised to see Adam Silver ahead of Mark Emmert.
