Major League Baseball hosts an annual contest to ask the simple question: Who is the face of baseball?
But the Face of the MLB contest is particularly interesting this year, in the post-Jeter era, as the landscape seems more wide open than ever.
Well, the contest is down to the semi-finals and our very own Adam Jones is up against Mets All-Star third baseman David Wright. Currently, the race is pretty tight, with Jones on top 55 to 45 percent. (It should be noted that Jones beat Big Papi in the first round.)
The other half of the bracket pits Bay Area rivals Buster Posey of the San Fransisco Giants against Sean Doolittle of the Oakland A's.
Voting is pretty easy—you just have to go on Twitter and tweet #AdamJones and #FaceofMLB. You can also go to their Facebook page and share a comment with the same hashtags. The results will be announced on Hot Stove on the MLB Network on Monday at 9 a.m.
While the contest seems a little silly, really what it's testing is the most devoted fanbase in baseball. So, let's be honest, we should have this thing on lock.
