Baseball and video game nerds, rejoice!

Could it be Bobby Witt Jr?

How about Juan Soto in his new Mets uniform, maybe Francisco Lindor?

Paul Skenes is a good candidate, as is someone like Elly De La Cruz.

Then I’m scrolling IG and I see Yak standout Gunnar Henderson post a video.

Gunnar posts this video with some sort of filter on it?

He says he’s actually supposed to be on the cover and says Elly needs to call him.

At this point no one knows whats going on, dueling covers?

Maybe a “choose your own cover athlete” kinda thing going on here?

I think Gunnar should be the solo cover guy, but what do I know?

An Elly/Gunnar collaboration would be pretty cool, two of the best shortstops in baseball if you ask me.

And thennnnn we get another video on social media from the most vanilla athlete around, Paul Skenes.

And who cares that you usually don’t physically buy the copy of the game anymore?

Still cool one of your favorite players is on the front of it and the loading screens.

I know there is also going to be the “who cares about this?

Video games are childish” crowd, let’s just calm down.
