With the exception of just two teams — the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers — I now have all of the 2017 Major League Baseball team media guide covers up for your enjoyment. As a special bonus I also have the official Spring Training media guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As with just about all modern pro sports publications the cover designs are a mixed bag. The three main motifs I notice are player\/team shots (Padres<\/a>), stadium shots (Braves<\/a>), or generic baseball designs (Rockies<\/a>).<\/p>\n

For the curious, here are the guides for the World Series champion Chicago Cubs and AL pennant winner Cleveland Indians. Neither are anything to write home about:<\/p>\n

Here is a rather colorful design from the Miami Marlins, who will play host to the All-Star Game this year:<\/p>\n

And here are what I consider to be the three best media guide designs of the season, for the St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Tampa Bay Rays:<\/p>\n
