Sony's exclusive iteration of Americas' favorite pastime has been the top video gaming option since the departure of EA Sports' MVP Baseball. I don't expect anything less with this year's version, however, I'm not feeling Dustin Pedroia (UGH) on the cover, why not a higher profile player, like Chipper Jones, Johan Santana, Derek Jeter, or even Roy Halladay. Outside of hardcore followers of baseball, like myself, I don't think many casual gamers will recognize Pedroia.
