MLB The Show 20 will release worldwide on March 17th and with the actual MLB on hold, this launch couldn't come at a better time. However, if you pre-ordered the special editions of the game, you already have access to them. Although, as always, Sony showed off some of the game's content ahead of the global release to create some hype around the game. Although, one of the most intriguing aspects of each year is the reveal of the legends.
Legends are historical figures from baseball's past that can be used in Quick Play or the more popular Diamond Dynasty mode. In the latter, you can acquire these legends via maps, similar to MaddenUltimate Team. Once you have obtained a card, this legend becomes usable in your Diamond Dynasty league. You can also choose two starting legends, which will help catapult your team.
So far we've seen a plethora of legends confirmed for the title's release. Let's see which icons made the cut and who might have to wait until next year to make the cut:
