Mo and Posey are two well-deserving players to top this list, as both play in big markets and have found an immense amount of success during their respective careers.

At the age of 43, Rivera is still going strong in 2013 and has 29 saves under his belt with an ERA of 1.89. He is a 13-time All-Star and five-time World Series champion, and he also holds the all-time record for most career saves.

Posey is approximately 17 years younger, but he is just as big of a draw in today’s game. The two-time World Series champion is hitting .316 with 13 home runs and 50 RBI in 86 games this season for the Giants.

Outside of these two mega stars and the other obvious names on the list, there are some intriguing players appearing here, including up-and-coming Los Angeles Dodgers sensation Yasiel Puig.

The 22-year-old Cuban has been a revelation for the NL West contenders, as he is hitting a whopping .397 with eight home runs and 19 RBI in just 146 at-bats over 36 games.

With a top-10 selling jersey, it seems Puig has big things ahead of him.
