Many have said that we don't know what we are getting when we nominate cards, so I've taken some time to put some stats together from some cards, using Diamond Dope and Veterans 1975 for the park, since it's kind of neutral (10,10,10,10). I asked Bill for his permission/blessing to do this. So I'll be posting some card add ideas, thoughts, etc to hopefully keep interest up and give folks some stuff to actually discuss on the boards.

Another player who used up his prime in the Negro Leagues, finally got a starting MLB job at age 37 and made the most of it. A Singles Machine, his nickname was "Rope" because of his ubiquitous line drives.
