Hey! Our buddy Aaron gets a mention!
“The media has a great team with a proud tradition of excellence, professionalism, and fairness,” Rodriguez told members of the media Tuesday. “Tim Kurkjian has electric stuff, NBC Sports writer/blogger Aaron Gleeman is young and talented, and The New York Post’s George King is one of the greatest defensive centerfielders I have ever seen. To be honest, I wouldn’t mind being a part of the media someday.”

1. You get a Wikipedia entry.
2. They mention you in The Onion.
3. You do a spot on "Fresh Air with Terri Gross".
4. You get a guest shot on The Simpsons.
How does one merit enough fame to be granted a Wiki entry?
I mean the target audience for that article is pretty small and I should be right in the middle of it but I've read shampoo bottles that are funnier than that.
see: Spalding Gray
The Onion has had a tremendous run of great baseball headlines, though, so I'm willing to cut them some slack.
All I know is that creating & running b-ref isn't deemed important enough, as wikipedia shut down it's Sean Forman page.
Their sports articles tend to be for very narrow audiences.
Even allowing the fact that Alan Moore is (enters comic book geek mode) the greatest Comic Book writer of all time (exits comic book geek mode, reenters Baseball geek mode), I find the list flawed.
Yeah, the story wasn't as good as the headline. I linked it primarily because of the Gleeman reference.
Probably the Onion's best baseball headline was "Bill James cracks up SABR Convention with a particularly witty stat".
