＞Tom Brady vs. Mike Trout
＞A major concern for baseball is the meager national profiles of its stars.
＞By nearly any measure, pro football and pro basketball players outpace baseball players in national popularity.

＞According to YouGov’s ratings of active sports personalities,
＞91 percent of Americans have heard of LeBron James and 88 percent have heard of Tom Brady,
＞but only 43 percent have heard of Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels, baseball’s best player.

＞You don’t have to look any further than the national reach of each league’s television broadcasts to see why this may be the case.

＞An analysis by The New York Times of television broadcasts
＞by county shows how widespread the broadcasts of the N.F.L. and N.B.A. stars are ?
＞and how minimal they are for baseball’s stars like Trout.
