The players included in the video are Ken Griffey Jr., David Ortiz, Bryce Harper, Albert Pujols, Reggie Jackson and Mike Trout. The most love and care is given to the Albert Pujols breakdown as Crow syncs it up with a virtual representation of Brad Lidge as well.

He loves just about any good sports game but gravitates to ones that coincide with the ongoing real seasons of the NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL, and so on. As of now, he's gearing up for EA Sports College Football 25 and what should be a wild summer while still dabbling in the latest Top Spin and MLB The Show.
