There needs to be a greater outrage with the amount of baseball plays that are selected for ESPN Sportscenter’s Top Ten list. It gives viewers a gross misconception that the MLB is actually cooler than what it really is. Let’s face it, the only reason to watch baseball is if it’s October and you want to find a good reason to bet your November mortgage on Alex Rodriguez (you will be let down, trust me). Where was Cub Swanson’s KO over Charles Oliveira at UFC 152? Ah, that’s right. A guy catching a ball takes precedence over one of the slickest walk-away KOs in UFC history. In a perfect universe, this clip from XFC 19 when Charlie Alaniz knocked out Jarret Owen via a spike to the head would make ESPN Sportcenter’s Top Ten — but it has made the front page of MiddleEasy, which is actually seen as a higher achievement in certain parts of the world.
