6. 2012 Craig Kimbrel ATL https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/91502/2012/1/2012 How is it that one of the better RPs isn't represented.
7. 1972 Bill Stoneman MON SP. 251 IP, 2.98 ERA, 1.26 WHIP. Expos first star pitcher, (threw a no-hitter in their 9th game ever), is only represented by his 1969 card from Montreal's inaugural season. He had more IP, W and K in 1971, but 1972 was his best season. This guy deserves better!
8. 1923 Tris Speaker CF. His best offensive season. 133 runs scored, league leading 130 rbi's. 59 Doubles (his best season for the all time doubles leader) 11 Triples and a lifetime best 17 HR's. Hit: .380 .469 .610 1.079. One of the few mega superstars with only two cards.

10.1962 Frank Robinson, REDS, OF, Bats R .342/.421/.624/1.045, 51 DO, 39 HR, 136 RBI. Arguably Robinson's best season. Followed up '61 MVP with an even better season in '62! Career highs in G, BA, H, R, 2B, RBI, OBP & TB. 2nd career bests in HR, SLG, OPS & OPS+. Led League in R, 2B, OBP, SLG, OFF. WAR, OPS, OPS+, HBP & IBB. Bulletproof.

14. 1960 Lindy McDaniel, STL/CHC/NYY,12-4, 2.09 ERA, .937 WHP, CYA-3, MVP-5, best year, good add for post franchise
15. 2007 Chipper Jones ATL .337/.425/.604 3b 2-e19 Better and think Best Chipper card - def better than current one(s)
16. 1884 Fred Dunlap STL 2b Probably the best offensive season not currently in ATG. Adjusted OPS +256 (only Bonds has better seasons). 2nd baseman. 412/448/621.

18. 1965 Don Pavletich Reds C
19. Matt "Batman" Harvey 2013 METS 178 innings, 191 KO, .931 WHIP, lowest homeruns per 9 in league

Regarding the 1884 Fred Dunlap nomination...do we really want to go down the "other" major league route. Dunlap played for the St. Louis Maroons. In 1884, they played in the Union Association, a league that lasted one season. The Maroons gathered ALL of the best players in the league and finished with an .832 winning percentage...their stats are skewed to say the least. I for one am opposed to such nominations. There are plenty of great players and years in MLB and Negro leagues without bringing in the ringers.

Now I know that Wikipedia is rarely a good source to cite, but this does sum up things pretty well :

Although the league is conventionally listed as a major league, this status has been questioned[5] by a number of modern baseball historians, most notably Bill James in The Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract. The league had a number of major league players (on the St. Louis franchise, at least), but the league's overall talent and organization was notably inferior to that of the two established major leagues. James found that the contemporary baseball guides did not consider the Union Association to be a major league either: the earliest record he could find of the Union Association as a major league was Ernest Lanigan's The Baseball Cyclopedia, published in 1922.

We are not allowed to nominate negro league players so I say no to a lesser league.

I went through the top 250 single season slugging percentages of all time, and by and large almost every season is represented with a card (many players appear multiple times) - But, excluding 2018 season, there are only two players who have no card. Stanton is the other, and I figure he's too obvious to be forgotten. This is number 134. Plus an OF corner 1 (-4). 314/391/636. Houston franchise has NO corner OF 1.

1. 1961 Eddie Mathews MLN 3b (Bunze0)
2. 2014 Johnny Cueto CIN SP 20-9 WHIP .96, ERA 2.25, 2nd in Cy Young vote, would be 1st card for Cueto (gator39)
3. 1981 Kirk Gibson Det Of - Strike shortened season. Gibby batted .328, OB of .369, OPS of .849. He also hit 9 home runs in only 290 at bats. He stole 17 bases. He led Detroit to a near Divison title, only to be beaten by the Brewers on the last day. (DanTheMan)
4. 2012 Jake McGee TB LHRP 1.95era 0.795whip 9R lefty gives up nothing to righties and decent vs lefties. Great card!! Need more Rays cards!
5. 1920 Buck Weaver CHA 3b. By far Bucky's best year. .331 BA and bulletproof injury. Let's get a Bucky card we can use! John Cusack thanks you.
6. 2012 Craig Kimbrel ATL https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/91502/2012/1/2012 How is it that one of the better RPs isn't represented.
7. 1972 Bill Stoneman MON SP. 251 IP, 2.98 ERA, 1.26 WHIP. Expos first star pitcher, (threw a no-hitter in their 9th game ever), is only represented by his 1969 card from Montreal's inaugural season. He had more IP, W and K in 1971, but 1972 was his best season. This guy deserves better!
8. 1923 Tris Speaker CF. His best offensive season. 133 runs scored, league leading 130 rbi's. 59 Doubles (his best season for the all time doubles leader) 11 Triples and a lifetime best 17 HR's. Hit: .380 .469 .610 1.079. One of the few mega superstars with only two cards.
9. 2000 Steve Finley ARZ CF. Arizona has no cards that qualify at cf. 35hr's and a gold glove with decent speed.
10.1962 Frank Robinson, REDS, OF, Bats R .342/.421/.624/1.045, 51 DO, 39 HR, 136 RBI. Arguably Robinson's best season. Followed up '61 MVP with an even better season in '62! Career highs in G, BA, H, R, 2B, RBI, OBP & TB. 2nd career bests in HR, SLG, OPS & OPS+. Bulletproof.
11. 1985 Donnie Moore Angels RP. Was treated shamefully by fans in real life. Let's do right by him in Strat.
12. 1974 Johnny Bench, CIN, 129 RBI, 33 HR, 700+ PA!..how about a every game starter behind the plate
13. 1947 Harry Walker, STL/PHI, .363/.436/.487, led league in triples (16), BA & OBP, 150 OPS+, 9th in MVP, CF/1B/LF
14. 1960 Lindy McDaniel, STL/CHC/NYY,12-4, 2.09 ERA, .937 WHP, CYA-3, MVP-5, best year, good add for post franchise
15. 2007 Chipper Jones ATL .337/.425/.604 3b 2-e19 Better and think Best Chipper card - def better than current one(s)
16. 1884 Fred Dunlap STL 2b Probably the best offensive season not currently in ATG. Adjusted OPS +256 (only Bonds has better seasons). 2nd baseman. 412/448/621.
17. 1978 Amos Otis, Royals, CF 2(-4) e3 .298/.380/.525/.905, 22 HR, 96 RBI, 32 SBs. Career highs in RBI, OBP, SLG, OPS & OPS+. Near career highs in BA, BB, HR. Unlike other Otis cards, this is a well balanced card with decent OBP, that could bat nearly anywhere in the lineup, including leadoff.
18. 1965 Don Pavletich Reds C
19. 2013 Matt "Batman" Harvey METS, SP 178 innings, 191 KO, .931 WHIP, lowest homeruns per 9 in league
20. 2001 Cliff Floyd, FLA. LF, EVEN, 3(0)e9, .317/.390/ .578, 44 doubles, 31HR, 103 RBI- Gives FLA some help building a better team
21. 1936 Arky Vaughan PGH SS, .335 BA, .453 OBP, .474 SA, 30 doubles, 11 triples, 9 homers. 600-plus plate appearances.
22. 1980 Mike Easler (LF/RF) Pirates (.338/.396/.583) better card than that NYY one we have
23. 1972 Billy Williams, Cubs, LF 3(0), Bats L .333/.398/.606/1.005, 37 HR, 122 RBI. Career highs in BA, OBP, SLG, OPS & OPS+. Near career highs in HR & RBI. Led League in BA, SLG, OPS, OPS+ & TB. Finished 2nd in MVP voting to Johnny Bench for the 2nd time in 3 years. It's time to give HOFer Sweet Swingin' Billy his best card.
24. 2000 Richard Hidalgo Houston CF-2(-4)e8 RF 1e8 - LF 1e8. I went through the top 250 single season slugging percentages of all time, and by and large almost every season is represented with a card (many players appear multiple times) - But, excluding 2018 season, there are only two players who have no card. Stanton is the other, and I figure he's too obvious to be forgotten. This is number 134. Plus an OF corner 1 (-4). 314/391/636. Houston franchise has NO corner OF 1.
25. 2017 Corey Kluber SP CLE 18-4 IP203.2 BB36 SO265 ERA2.25 WHIP0.87 Balance E No card
