Orioles And Indians Battle Via Twitter
Major League Baseball is having a Twitter competition to see who is the face of MLB. It's down to the quarterfinals and the stakes are as high as ever as Baltimore Orioles' outfielder Adam Jones is up against Cleveland Indians pitcher Corey Kluber. MLB is asking fans to post #CoreyKluber or #AdamJones and tag #FaceOfMLB to vote for their favorite.
The Orioles and Indians are hashing it out on twitter.
Kluber is currently leading Adam Jones in voting.
The Indians tell the Orioles to just go ahead and deal with it
