Next up, we got the first corner infielder of this series, the first basemen. If you want to check out my Top 10 catchers list, you should do so in order to know how this will work. What does a first baseman do exactly? Well, his job to retrieve ground balls and throws from other … Read more
I was inspired by MLB Network’s Top 10 Right Now segment where host, Brian Kenny, and legendary broadcaster, Bob Costas, breakdown their Top 10 Right Now from every position dating back to the start of the Divisional Era (which was established in 1969).
