Major League Hotties 2011

MLB Men
By Essence · Updated October 28, 2020
01
Be Still My Heart!

We traveled the country looking for the sexiest MLB players. Here’s who made the team this year…

Hello, kissable lips and huggable pecs! We’d like a little chest time with Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano.

Back on the Market

Now that Matt Kemp is single again, Dodgers tickets have gone way up. Word is there are a lot of women warming the bench waiting for Kemp to hit a home run in their hearts.

Hey Batter, Batter

We couldn’t resist adding Cubs left fielder Alfonso Soriano to our list for those soft, dark eyes and that mesmerizing smile.

The Golden Touch

Thirty-two-year-old Los Angeles Angels’ left fielder Vernon Wells has won three Gold Gloves. We’d love him to touch us with those award-winning hands.

Oh Captain, My Captain

Yankees team captain Derek Jeter just keeps getting sexier with his long lean legs and adorable smile. At 36 and with more than a decade in Major League Baseball, Jeter is the captain of our hearts.

Get Lifted

We wonder how much Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino can bench press. That strapping chest tells us that we would be no problem for him.

Touching Bases

We’d probably let LA Dodgers first baseman James Loney get to second base. That square jaw and those soft lips deserve a little make-out session.

He’s Got It

Another superstar Yankees player, A-Rod’s appeal is in his dreamy eyes and confident stride.

Shine Your Light

Leave it to the Sunshine State to brighten up our day. Florida Marlins infielder Emilio Bonifacio’s cute smile lights up our hearts.

Derrek Lee

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Derrek Lee gets an automatic home run for those big broad shoulders and lickable lips.

Pretty Young and Tempting

Every team has one. For the Cincinnati Indians, relief pitcher Tony Sipp is the baby face. We’d kiss all over those cute cheeks.

Hey There, Tiger

Detroit Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson makes us say grrrr. Tall, dark and handsome a strong striker — what more could a girl ask for?

Relaxed Fit

Arizona Diamondbacks’s Chris Young appears to have that laidback swagger that we find irresistible. We’d love to call him up and just chill.

Run Wild

Just look at that stride. Chicago White Sox center fielder Alex Rios has captured our hearts with those long, strong legs and that sexy square jaw.

Angels in the Outfield

Seattle Mariners’ Adam Jones keeps us looking over at the outfield. We’d be more than happy for him to strike us out.

Come Closer

Chicago Cubs’ Marlon Byrd may be an outfielder, but we like to keep him close to home base. Can you blame us?

Darnel McDonalds

If we could get season tickets to Boston Red Sox’s Darnell McDonald’s private locker room, we would. We love the uniform and all, but a simple towel would be way better attire for the 32-year-old outfielder.
