Hack, the 1996 Barry Bonds is a 1 in LF & 2 in CF with a -2 arm, AA and 1-17 runner. Agree with you on adding him.

Harry Heilmann, 1927, in terms of OPS+, his second best season, lots of doubles and OBP (career bests in both).

141 596 505 106 201 50 9 14 120 11 11 72 16 .398 .475 .616 1.091 180 311

I know we have a few of his cards already, but ... one of the first stars to grow up on the West Coast, later became a Tigers broadcaster in the early days of radio. Overlooked and underrated in the Golden Age of baseball, .342 lifetime average, but he always seemed overshadowed, as he played with Cobb and during Ruth's and Hornsby's prime years.

I wouldn't object to another Heilmann card, and this looks like a really good one. Tiger great Al Kaline has 7 cards. Tiger great Heilmann has 3 cards. It's reasonable for Heilmann to have another card.

How about Bob Johnson's best year? 1939 –

AB 544, R 115, Hits 184, Doubles 30, Triples 9, HRs 23, RBIs 114, SBs 15, BBs 99, BA .338, OBP .440, SLG .553, OPS .993

Currently, we have 1934 and 1936.

From his SABR bio: "Because he was born on an Indian reservation, Bob Johnson was considered a ward of the government. He and his older brother Roy Johnson, whose career began in 1929 with the Detroit Tigers, were both born in Pryor, Oklahoma (some 35 miles east of Tulsa) – before Oklahoma became a state.1 Roy was the eldest of the two, born in 1903. Robert Lee Johnson was born on November 26, 1905.2 They had six siblings, two other boys and four girls. Their father was also named Robert Lee Johnson; he’d moved to the area from Missouri. Anna B. Downing was half-French, half-Cherokee. Bob came to be widely known as “Indian Bob” Johnson. When he was asked his nationality, Bob replied, “American.”

https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/Bob-Johnson-2/

"None other than Ted Williams once spoke, in 1975, about Bob’s accomplishment with the Philadelphia Athletics: 'Bob drove in over one hundred runs in seven of his first nine seasons with that rag-tag outfit. There weren’t that many runners on base than that when he came to the plate in those years, let alone guys in scoring position.'”

Love Johnson, would like to see him get his best season. He is ATROCIOUS in the field, he’d be DH ( not that there’s anything wrong with that)
