ATG 1. A trip down memory lane...

[modmark46]

Was bored over the weekend, and was perusing some of my ATG 1 teams. Do you remember...

From the '82 Angels -
* D. Decinces, power hitting 3b
* B. Downing, an in game injury only OF with 0 errors
* A. Hassler, the ATG 1 version of J. Sambito
* On Base machine R. Carew

From the '88 A's -
* an AWESOME J. Canseco card!
* a balanced D. Henderson patrolling CF
* Utility man T. Phillips, an on base machine vs LHs, for .50
* a Mark McGwire card that had a chance to hit .250
* G. Cadaret and E. Plunk, both bargains at .50
* An R2 D. Eckersley card, almost as good as in ATG2, with a -3 hold rating.

From the '60 Pirates -
* A Roberto Clemente card with that -6 bazooka, AND a 3 game injury risk. (The 7L was awkward, but with the right platoon...)
* A nice Dick Groat card at SS.
* Maz's slick 1e11 at 2b, with a .712 OPS.
* RP R. Face.

From the '84 Mariners -
* power hitting 1b K. Phelps (a cheaper version of W. Covington)
* P. Bradley as a cheap leadoff guy vs RHs
From the '42 Cardinals -
* SP M. Cooper
* a J. Beazley card that was very usable
* an E. Slaughter card that usually had him in somebody's top 5 draft card.

From the '74 Rangers -
* J. Burroughs wearing out LHs
* T. Harrah and L. Cardenas as the RH parts of some nice platoons
* M. Hargrove's nice on base card
* A Fergie Jenkins cards that ALWAYS seemed to underperform!
* Foucault was a decent RP.

Man, do we need ATG 3! :)

I really miss Slaughter, Langston, Canseco and DeCinces.

Is that so we can begin to wax poetically about the players we miss from ATG2? :lol:

I hope they add more teams to the present list. With more teams expanded theme league possibilties. Themes for all decades maybe. The pre-teens/teens, 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's 60's and 70's. The 80's don't cut because on BTT 80's. I never have played the 80's, the mystery card doesn't cut for me. Just my 2 cents worth. :D
