PostWed Feb 01, 2017 11:03 pm

Is there actually demand for the Japanese League rosters?

I don't care for Negro League and 19th century cards either.

You can create a league with roster restrictions if it bothers you so much. I personally value the Negro League players. If anything, the only way to exclude the Negro League players would be to also exclude pre Jackie Robinson MLB players.

Players who can bunt and and execute the hit and run? Yeah, bring 'em on. I love the way the Japanese play baseball.

don't know if you remember, but Strat intended to add Jap and Cuban players to the online game.it included players like S. Oh the Jap Babe Ruth. the minions revolted worse than Berkley Snowfakes so Strat capitulated and withdrew the cards. to me a card is a card. its hypocritical how people raise hell about new cards being added, then vote on them, then never seem to use them. i have noticed that new pitcher's cards get utilized far more than hitters cards.

Yes, that's exactly why I asked the question.(BTW, Not a fan of ATG. too many cards.) I saw SOM advertising Japanese baseball rosters. Just wondering how many people want the Japanese cards. Where is the demand?

Maybe they have a customer base in Japan. It would not be suprising

We should also ban Muslim baseball players from the seven nations. Green card holders, too. Especially students and research scientists who use baseball as a "cover." :twisted: :ugeek: :ugeek:
