Perhaps buoyed by the Chicago Cubs winning their first championship in 108 years, Kris Bryant (first), Anthony Rizzo (second), Javier Baez (fourth) and Kyle Schwarber (fifth) place among the top-10 selling jerseys since the 2016 World Series.
Los Angeles Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw and Corey Seager ranked third and seventh, respectively. New York Mets righty Noah Syndergaard placed sixth, San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey is eighth, New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is ninth, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim center fielder Mike Trout rounds out the top 10.
Kershaw and Seager are the lone Dodgers to not only place in the top 10, but top 20 as well. The list is based on sales of Majestic jerseys at MLBShop.com between the 2016 World Series and 2017 Opening Day.
Last July, Kershaw ranked third amongst top-selling jerseys through the first half of the 2016 season.
That list was based on sales from MLBShop.com of Majestic jerseys between Jan. 1 and the 2016 All-Star Game. Bryant was second at the midway point last season, Rizzo fourth, and Trout fifth.
