Lucky cards

[jjd77447]

This goes back to may old face to face days. But ever notice that some cards are lucky? An example: I had Berenyi 1983 card. He lead our league in era with it right at 2.00 pitched a no hitter was just dominate. And this was a 8 team allstar loaded league. the same could be said for unlucky...Carlton the same year got shelled almost everytime out. It show you no matter how hard you try you gotta have some luck. Once during a bad streak with a team I had it never seemed the other team ever was on my pitchers card, one game i turned the card upside down and did not have to turn it over to look at it until the 7th inning! I would have thought the dice were loaded but we were using the same ones and i rolled on his pitchers card plenty.

Not sure if it is lucky, but some guys just seem to do well for me. Take Lemon, he always plays good for me. Will Clark, kick it for others and tanks it for me. May be it is a HAL thing

Senor Smoke always seems to perform pretty well (well, MOST of the time).

I had an AWFUL Sisk card that performed well during a league here. Had no idea what I had 'til it was over. Just had a .700 card for Cedeno pull a .900+ with 45 doubles in less than 500 AB's.

For some reason, although neither has very impressive cards, these guys have almost always done well for me. At this point, I draft 'em every year and just turn 'em loose.

Even in bad years, they are often OK or better than OK.

PanzerAce seems to have similar magic with Aguayo--a player I just can't figure out...

Yeah, Panzer Ace seems to get 30 HR seasons every year from Aguayo...

I've had Jim Morrison way overperform for 400+ ABs (I'm too lazy to find his actual stats). There was a year (one of the mystery leagues?) where Steve Trout was unhittable-I think it was his 9L card.
