Tony Fernandez

[LMBombers]

Why does Tony Fernandez have no injury possibility on his 1985 card when he had 607 PA? This is far less PA than he had in other years where he does have an injury chance. :?

Some point in the 80's (85?), SOM made players who played 162(?) games are unable to be injured.


Fernadez 85/86
Murray 90
Murphy 85
Ripkin

I'm sure theres some more

[LMBombers]

Fernandez only played in 161 games in 1985 according to his card. Maybe Toronto only had 161 games that year due to a rainout?

The Toronto Blue Jays only played 161 games in 1985 (99-62). Tony Fernandez played in all of them. His salary was only $127,500.00. I wish he came that cheaply now.....

Cal Ripken has injuries on some of his cards, but I've had him in four full seasons and I've never seen an injury--not even for part of a game. Are these dummy injury indicators?--Maybe HAL has a setting that makes this always "Injured but remains in game"?

Has anyone ever seen an injury to Ripken--even for the remainder of a game?

Yes but only for the remainder of the game. He is the Iron Man.

In real life, I really didn't want Cal to break the streak at the time he was making his push. Although the most I really do know about Gehrig's character is what I learned from Hollywood in the movie, "The Yankee Clipper," I thought that there should be no other.

Now that I am older and wiser, I can see that there is absolutely no other better player that could have snapped that streak than Cal Ripken Jr. I'm totally impressed with Cal as a human being and he deserves all of the accolades that have been hung on him for becoming baseball's true iron man.
