MLB The Show 21 is almost here!
We've got less than a week to go before the MLB The Show 21 release date, and even less for Early Access, but have already gotten some major Legends Roster reveals.
From drops during the Feature Premieres to the Legends Trailer, let's take a look at everyone confirmed so far for the MLB The Show 21 Legends Roster.
Latest - 40 40 Club Legends Teased
MLB The Show 21 is preparing for the final Feature Premiere tomorrow night, and the spotlight turns to Diamond Dynasty.
In a Q&A previewing the upcoming Feature Premiere, the first new card series in Diamond Dynasty was revealed to represent the "40 40 Club."
Alfonso Soriano takes center stage on the first card shown, but the real tease comes when you realize Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, and Jose Canseco are the only three other MLB players in the 40 40 Club.
You can check out all the details here on the Q&A and what has been revealed so far for Diamond Dynasty.
