Agreed! Andy's research has made for much more informed voting, leading to better card adds. BC has organizational skills that I never had, and certainly don't at my age now!

Yep. And let me refresh you memory. Greinke hit C.F.Q. with a pitch. C.F.Q. was famous for crowding the plate, and led baseball in HBP for several years (pretty much every year that he played a significant amount of games). So, he's basically ASKING to be brushed, then when he's hit, C.F.Q. has a Dumb ass Macho Meltdown and charges the mound, dislocating Greinke's shoulder. It's a good think I had already retired to Washington State; had I still lived in L.A. I would have most likely taken action myself.

I really wanted to vote for Bob Watson, but I think there are at least 4 better card options for Mr. Millionth run

Here are all his good Astros seasons. 1977 is most balanced, though 1975 is good too. The rest are more balanced towards LHP.

I’m not sure we need heya other Mickey Mantle card, but, oh, well, bet he gets in.

Voted for Watson. Glad Barfield 40 HR is doing well.

CUPID CHILDS to me is a no brainer

Not sure why we need another Kaline card as well...

I like the Mantle card with the RF rating, sets up the possibility of a Ruth/DiMaggio/Mantle outfield. At this point a new Kaline card seems almost obligatory with each add.
