[quote:f9309d6e22="canauscot"]I'll kick it off with Nolan Ryan. An argument could be made that Ryan was at his best in a Ranger uniform and it would be great if he were in the 70's, 80's and 90's game.
...and while we're at it, let's put Seaver and Maddux in the 80's game [/quote:f9309d6e22]
I think it is a no-brainer that Ryan will be in the 90's game. Use all 5 seasons as a Ranger (89-93). That is 3 super cards an above average card and the 93 season is the clunker.
If you use Greg Maddux's first 5 seasons that he played much (87-91) for the 80's game you get one really bad card, one really nice card and 3 above average cards. He wouldn't be a HOF type player but one that should be in the 80's game. There is also no reason that Tom Seaver is not in the 80's game. He didn't retire until after the 1986 season. Same with Phil Niekro. He pitched a year longer than Seaver even. You could even make an easy argument for Fergie Jenkins to be in the 80's game too.
How about Biggio as a C, 2B and OF in the 90's game!
