Obviously ESPN doesn't have any investment in Pujols moving to an East Coast team (or do they?! :) ). The point was more about the specific focus on AP when, in my opinion, the rest of the lineup was the story - but Albert is the 'name' on the team, so he gets the top billing.

Sure ESPN shows more yanks/redsox than anything else, but thats also the largest fan base in the country. Its about ratings. Them selling Albert to these teams by talking good about him? I think your being a little ridiculous. Little extreme here I think. Sure ESPN shows more yanks/redsox than anything else, but thats also the largest fan base in the country. Its about ratings.
