Back to the 70's Mystery Card Game Announced!

Excellent name albert. JR Richard only had 5 years of over 200 IP in the 70's which works perfect for the mystery card game. Four of those years are very good. He had some walk problems in the first 2 of those years. The last 3 years are truly dominant.

Some of the great 70s teams....and starting pitching...
by Outta Leftfield » Thu Oct 19, 2006 12:09 pm
One thing we've been alluding to, but not mentioning directly, are some of the great teams that would be represented by multiple players, for example:
The Big Red Machine: Morgan, Bench, Rose, Concepcion, Perez, Griffey, etc.
The early 1970s Orioles teams
The mid to late 70's Yankee, Red Sox and Royals teams
The late 70s Dodgers
The early 70s Oakland A's
...etc., etc. Most of those teams had real personalities--partly it was because this was the last era before free agency--with guys who hand long-term identification with one team—and then the era when free agency first arrived and teams were first coping with the arrival of free agent stars (e.g. Reggie and Catfish to the Yanks). Ah, the memories...
Also, this was an era of dominant starting pitchers. There are only a handful of really dominant pitchers in the 80s. In the 70s you have a bunch of guys who pitched 300 innings every year and were often dominant from year to year--Seaver, Carlton, Ryan, Palmer, Hunter, etc.... Also, more of the parks favored pitchers, and there were fewer mondo offensive years. It should be an interesting and somewhat less hitter-dominated game.
[Edit:]
Bernie says in his blog that the 70's game will come out [b:67e136cf81]before[/b:67e136cf81] the 2007 game. Cool! :D
