THIS is why you draft Pete Alexander ........

[MtheB]

Great to see Addie Joss and some of the other lesser known great pitchers in that group.
I think ATG3 will really benefit from having great cards from:

Bob Gibson--68
Juan Marichal--65,68--he was the winningest pitfcher of the 60s
Lefty Grove--31?
Walter Johnson--1913
Warren Spahn--1953
Lefty Gomez--any of many
John McGinnity
Christy Mathewson
Kid Nichols
Don Drysdale 62
Eddie Plank

[PJ Axelsson]

Some surprising names on the list, that's for sure. Mark Eichhorn??? Remember that season he had? He was throwing whiffleballs and nobody could hit them! :shock:

[PJ Axelsson]

Curt Schilling?

Dolf Luque???

[crackerjaxon]

Fergie Jenkins, Roy Seivers, Luke Appling, George Sisler, Ted Kluzewski, in their career years.

Why not have TSN create a team of nothing but All-Stars, these 30 - 40 or more players would be from various teams and eras.... no specific team, just great seasons/players.... :D

Yes it is .....

UPDATE Pete just won game #3 of the Finals for me and Hubbell won game #4 so I'm up 3-1. Pete is scheduled to pitch game #7 for me if necessary ..... Hopefully it won't be :wink:

P.S. - Here's Pete's stat line for the playoffs thus far:

W L S IP H ER BB SO ERA WHIP
2 0 0 25.0 15 1 2 16 .36 .68

Actually, THIS is why you draft Pete.

Alexander, P. R S8*/R5 16 1 0 167.2 132 37 22 123 1.99 .92 E

And, its in Memorial '83. Pete pitches game 81(!) tonight. So, thats in half a season. He leads both MVP, and Cy Young award voting by a LARGE margin.

He is averaging better than 8.1 IP a start.

Here is the game he lost, 2-1
