That is typically the case.

I'd be shocked if Speaker gets an e25.

If I had to do it again, I'd nominate another Honus Wagner card. Like the 1903 or 1905 seasons. Only 3 Honus cards, all very different, but would be nice to add another big one one "up the middle."

It looks like LaMarr Hoyt is right on the cusp of making the cut. Let's keep the love going! He deserves a good card in the set.

Looking for an answer...

Just a simple question...

Why is there no love for John Jaso?

Seattle is in desperate need of catching, yet he has only 24 votes. I nominated Kenji Johjima (Another SEA catcher) and he also got no love. These guys DO NOT have cards in the set.

Guys who play in team based them leagues NEED to vote for these guys.

I could be wrong, but I believe A LOT of cards that get nominated or voted in NEVER EVER see the light of day. How do I know this? I see these shitty cards in the FA pile nearly every ATG league I'm in.

Vote in frickin cards that managers can use.

Totally agree with Visick.

I think the majority of cards getting a lot of support in this poll would be good additions to the set.

Jaso would be a GREAT addition, however. Would help Seattle a lot, and could be used by the Rays in some franchise leagues. Had a 9-year career, No Card. Would love to see him get in.

I agree about Jaso. Very usable platoon guy. The Mariners could use him.

Nearly every ATG league huh? You're in ALL of them? If they get used by a small amount of managers, who cares? They get used. I've used the cards I got voted in, happily. I don't play a ton of leagues. Until Strat comes out with Usage Statistics of cards across all of its sets and leagues there's no evidential proof you can offer that substantiates your generalized claim on new cards not being used.

This is not a Practical Vote this is a Popular Vote. Players are nominated either out of need or out of a desire to see someone immortalized in an All Time Strat Set.

There's no need for large fonts or Caps Lock or calling cards that somebody who cared enough to take the time out to nominate as a player a 'sh@@ty card'. Relax dude. Rather than berating people make your case, succinctly, and maybe he'll get voted in. At this point, I hope he doesn't. Just to spite your ridiculous rant.

'I could be wrong'. You are. Shush.

I CANNOT WAIT to use my homeboy Kevin Maas in a league. Look at all those votes he's getting baby! I bet he could take John Jaso in a fight and is a better cook than John Jaso.

Anyway, John Jaso thought sailing away on a boat was more important than playing baseball. Maybe we should put his strat card on a boat and have it set sail as well. Buh bye JJ...
