Curious - who's the sole "other" in the deadball column?
Is he eligible or not as a free agent? Must be decent although not a 10M+ player?
And.......excuse all the questions - but would you have a good example of the multi-carded player and how your pecking order of criteria would work?
The "Other" is Pud Galvin, who pitched for Buffalo in 1884 -- with 636 IP! He does not belong to one of the 16 century-old MLB franchises, but he is definitely available in the free agent draft.
An example of a multi-carded player would be Cy Young. He has 4 cards in the db set, including:
1899 with St. Louis for 44 games
1901 with Boston for 43 games
1903 with Boston for 40 games
1908 with Boston for 36 games
The St. Louis card has the most games played of any of them, so he belongs to St.Louis.
OK, just one more follow up question to this: St. Louis could only use Young's St. Louis Cardinals card, right - the "better" Red Sox cards are not available to St. Louis?
In the same vein, I see you only have one 10million+ player awarded to St. Louis in the EXP era. That must be McGwire isn't eligible to the Cards because he played one more game for the OAK franchise earlier. So...McGwire's monster Cardinal card is not available to an Oakland team and McGwire would never be eligible to the Cardinals unless.........the A's were one of the 4 franchises (very unlikely) not selected and he was picked as one of the wild card free agents?
Am I understanding this setup correctly?
