Cubs players have dominated online jersey sales since the team won the World Series last fall. A new list of top Majestic player jersey sales on MLBShop.com since the end of the ’16 World Series shows Cubs 3B Kris Bryant leading the league, followed right behind by teammates 1B Anthony Rizzo at No. 2, 2B Javier Baez at No. 4 and LF Kyle Schwarber at No. 5. Bryant, also the NL MVP last year, has had the top-selling jersey at the league’s online shop since his rookie year in ’15. Dodgers P Clayton Kershaw ranked third in the latest list, breaking up the Cubs’ hold on the top five. Yankees C Gary Sanchez also cracked the top 10, ranking ninth despite playing just 53 games last year after being called up to the majors, and just five this year before going on the disabled list with a biceps injury. The average age of the top 20 players on the new list is 26.5, the youngest such list of any of its type ever released by more than a year.
