Wilhelm was the first relief pitcher admitted to the HOF and the first pitcher to have 1000+ appearances and is 6th all time in games pitched. His 2 relief pitcher cards don’t do him justice as arguably the best relief pitcher of his era and Wilhelm is long overdue for a more usable relief pitcher card. https://max.strat-o-matic.com/stats-and ... pe=Pitcher

Pitched à la Luis Tiant, with a 180-degree twist. 16th in career FIP. No card.

Corrected broken link to 1967 Hoyt Wilhelm's Baseball Max card and added link to 1904 Fred Glade's Baseball Max card. Log in to Baseball Max is required to view the 1967 Wilhelm and 1904 Glade cards, or any other card image available only through Baseball Max. Over the last month, SOM provided a free 30 day subscription to Baseball Max to those who purchased a team credit in the baseball 365 online game. Since there were no baseball 365 links to card images for 1967 Wilhelm and 1904 Glade, I felt it would be better to post the links to the Baseball Max images for Baseball Max subscribers to see, even for a limited time, rather than to post no images at all. It would be a nice goodwill gesture for SOM to provide free access to Baseball Max card images for all player cards nominated for inclusion in the baseball 365 ATG9 card set.

I participated as a Baseball Max beta tester last winter. I have not purchased Baseball Max, and I have not opened the game site in months and months.

I clicked the link to the '67 Wilhelm card tonight and was happily surprised to see it open. I searched in Baseball Max for other players/cards, and all were available for me to open.

So I believe it is possible that SOM has done the goodwill gesture as you suggested. I think it's worth it to post the Baseball Max links, for the benefit of any voters who have or had a login. It sure beats no link at all to a nominee's card, which is what we had been putting up with for pre-'60s nominees.

Doesn't work. What a shock.
