I hate that feature "Who's Now" that ESPN has been running. Just don't like the constant focus on individuals and it's definitely filler material. But I do know that baseball is definitely "what's now". It's been a very exciting and interesting MLB season thus far. Anyone chuckling at the fact that Bonds cannot seem to get 755?
