Additional ATG Card Possibilities

must haves, owen wilson 1912, webb 31, burns 26, medwick 36. also every single season leader card in doubles and triples by position. that would only be 16 additonal cards even though some are already in the set.

Michael was better in the 80s, or with the Jackson Five

Some cards that could be fun because of the historical aspects of their numbers would be:
1924 - Rogers Hornsby - the modern era BA record of 0.424 plus a fabulous 0.507 OBP.
1931 - Earl Webb - had a record 67 doubles while also batting 0.333 and having a 0.404 OBP.
1912 - Chief Wilson - had an insane 36 triples while also batting 0.300 (and 11 HRs which weren't shabby in that era).

Really?
Even from years with a doubles leader in the 30s and the triples leader <5.
Here's last year's NL leaders in 2b:
Code:
1. Werth (PHI) 46
2. Holliday (STL) 45
Braun (MIL) 45
4. Torres (SFG) 43
5. Loney (LAD) 41
6. Prado (ATL) 40
Soriano (CHC) 40
8. Byrd (CHC) 39
Pujols (STL) 39
10. McGehee (MIL) 38
So, Werth in at RF. Holliday in LF, Braun at 3B, Andres Torres at CF, Loney at 1B, Prado at 2B, Soriano is out, Byrd is out, Pujols is out, McGehee is out, and we dig deeper for catcher and short stop.
And we're including Torres with a .268/.343/.446, 3e7 and 15 game injury because he hit a bunch of doubles, and not much else?
I could see adding some of the great all time doubles seasons (Soriano 2006 off the top of my head.... only 40-40-40 season ever... and he wasn't even top 10 in the NL in doubles with 41... playing in DC...), but positional leader by year... would also throw a TON of multiple copies of the same guy in there, as doubles hitters tend to hit doubles from year to year.

I took scorehouse to mean positional leaders by number of doubles (and triples), not year by year (which in passing would be far too much work for me to figure out). That would give, if my calculations are correct, a lineup of:
Doubles
Catcher: Ivan Rodriguez 1996
1B: George Burns 1926
2B: Charlie Gehringer 1936
3B: George Kell 1950
SS: Nomar Garciaparra 2002
LF: Ducky Medwick 1936
CF: Tris Speaker 1923
RF: Earl Webb 1931
Triples:
C: Johnny Kling 1903/Tim McCarver 1966
1B: Dave Orr 1886
2B: Heinie Reitz 1894
3B: George Davis 1893/Jimmy Williams 1899
SS: Ed McKean 1893
LF: George Treadway 1894
CF: Chief Wilson 1912 (played 87 games in CF, 69 in RF)
RF: Sam Thompson 1894
If anybody has different leaders by position (not career, but year), let me know.

PS I am working on getting everyone's suggestions on the lists. As I said, they will all get there.
