Is Eric Hosmer finally becoming a star?

The sad truth about major league baseball is that if you lined 15 people up on the streets of Laramie, Wyoming (pick your town) and showed them a picture of Mike Trout in uniform, I bet you maybe 3-5 would know his name. And, he's easily the one of the most phenomenal players on the planet. Same for Bryce Harper.

Maybe David Ortiz or Yasiel Puig are stars? I don't know.

I think most people know what Harper looks like because of the "clown question" clip going viral. Clayton Kershaw will end up being the best starting pitcher of the 21st century, and even as goofy as he looks, I would venture to say that a lot of people couldn't point him out.
