Roberto Clemente 1966. Although it was not one of his most productive at the plate, it was his MVP year. He sacrificed power for average. He also won the Golden Glove for this play in Right Field. He lead the Pirates in a 3 team race for the pennant, which was not decided until the last series of the year between the Dodgers and the Giants. It was truly a remarkable year in Baseball.

I am glad you nominated McGraw. I was trying to decide between Pudge and McGraw and you made the choice for me. Hopefully both get through. That McGraw card is insane.
I put in - that's put in not PUTIN Chipper Jones - believe its a 7R card and will be used much more than his current 3 L card imo. Much better offense. FWIW
