Bryce Harper, Babe Ruth featured in MLB commercial (VIDEO)

Bryce Harper "already looks like a legend."

That's what the voice says in MLB's newest commercial, which features the 21-year-old Harper posing with Babe Ruth and other baseball greats. Parts of the CGIed spot also show the Nationals outfielder hanging with Ted Williams and taking Nolan Ryan deep.

It's a 30-second promo for one of baseball's youngest stars which probably couldn't have come out at a more awkward time. Harper isn't off to the best of starts and was actually  benched Saturday for loafing to first base.

Maybe they should have thrown a clip of Harp and the Babe chomping on hot dogs in the dugout.

'Baseball Hotties' exhibit is bringing in the ladies

A record number of women are going to the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory — and they're not   headed to see how a 34-oz. baseball bat is made.  While the weather might be cooling down on infields all over the country, things are heating up inside the Kentucky landmark.

The ladies are headed to birthplace of the Louisville Slugger bat to see a new exhibit called "Baseball Hotties: Studs We Love."  The exhibit features photos and memorabilia showing the sexier side of the national pastime.

The PG-rated show celebrates the boys of summer and spotlights sexy ballplayers beginning with your great-grandma's pinup in pinstripes Mike "King" Kelly — a superstar from the 1800's and considered the sport's first hottie.  There is Ted Williams swinging a bat in a skimpy towel decades before Angelina Jolie struck a slit gown pose,  Jim Palmer letting it all hang out in his Jockeys and finally to ... you guessed it — Derek Jeter just being The Captain.

An exhibit called "The Field of Dreamboats" featuring Curtis Granderson, Joey Votto, A.J. Piezynski, Josh Hamilton, Andre Ethier and ... you guessed it ...Jeter again — emerging from a corn field in life-size form.

The exhibit traces the origins of baseball studs and even has a Hottie Hall of Fame with three spots available for vistors to nominate. Steroids probably won't keep any of these baseball studs out this HOF and might actually be an asset.

And if the men get bored watching wood spin on a lathe — as a tribute to the area's own Morganna — there is an actual bra worn by "The Kissing Bandit." The buxom blonde who pursued the baseball hotties of a past generation and kissed them on fields all over the country.  Who knew that the bra is on loan to the museum by sportscaster fashion plate Craig Sager.

The large turnout of females drawn to the bat-making factory might be due to the baseball stud-muffins on display.  But, it might have something to do with the Princess Diana Exhibit also drawing record crowds right across the street at the Frazier.

Reyes Pulled After Getting Hit To Preserve Batting Title Chances

Jose Reyes celebrated a lead-off bunt-single in the first inning-- lifting his batting average to a National League-leading .337  (technically, almost three points higher than Milwaukee's Ryan Braun's .335) in the New York Mets season finale this afternoon-- before Mets manager Terry Collins promptly removed his shortstop for a pinch-runner.

When Collins pulled Reyes, the home-crowd cheers at CitiField broke out into resounding boos.

While the manager's move almost guarantees Reyes the batting title, it didn't evoke any memories of Ted Williams's dignified pursuit of .400 when the Red Sox legend finished playing both games of a double-header after he already reached the milestone on the final day of the season 70 years ago.

Collins had hinted that he would lift his shortstop once Reyes had a higher average than his competition, but the move disappointed a lot of the fans who came to see their free-agent-to-be do it more legitimately.

Get the asterisks ready.

In what could be Reye's last at-bat in a Mets uniform, it was kind of an anti-climatic end to the player's amazing season and who was possibly the lone bright spot during the team's dismal year. 

Reyes admitted last week that he was striving to become the first Mets player to win a batting title and was routinely reminded about it.

He said he was being overwhelmed with text messages telling him what Braun did and what Braun was doing.

Braun must now go 3-for-4 in Wednesday night's game vs. Pittsburgh to pass Reyes for the title.

If Braun goes 3-for-4 and has another at-bat, do you think he'll be pulled from the game?
