19. 1961 Al Kaline led league with 41 dbls, gold glove, slashed 324/393/515. Doesn't really have a card that does justice for the great HOFer

I have been researching Kaline on the card app to get a card that won’t sit on the waiver wire. Can I recommend 1959 instead of 1961?
His current 1955 card has a 10/10 field OB/SLG/OPS of L 546/705/1.25 R 519/733/1.25.
1961 is rf1(-4)4 cf204 3b465 L 532/786/1.31 R 449/597/1.04.
1959 is a 1 in CF, with even better numbers than 1961: cf 1(-4)5 rf 105 5L L565/975/1.54 R474/592/1.06

The only caveat is that Kaline is a 3 game risk in 1961 and 15 games in 1959

Let me say I'd probably vote for 1959, not so much for 1961

I don't know what either the 59 or 61 look like . neither are available year choices in the 60's game?

if you'll give me a minute, I'll post numbers for 59 and 61


1959 Al Kaline, DET, Bats-R, 5L Balance, CF-1(-4)e5, RF-1(-4)e5, 15 Game INJ Risk
LH---2b-2.8, 3b-0, HR-14, BB-19, 498/595/1012, 1.607 OPS
RH—2b-2.8, 3b-0.6, HR-4.9, BB-12, 409/486/605, 1.090 OPS

1961 Al Kaline, DET, Bats-R, 3L Balance, RF-1(-4)e4, CF-2, 3b-4e65, 3 Game INJ Risk
LH—2b-12.5, 3b-2.2, HR-2.6, BB-7, 443/484/690, 1.174 OPS
RH—2b-7.1, 3b-1, HR-4.3, BB-12, 377/458/608, 1.066 OPS

Andy, I crunched them from the card app using a 10/10 park.

I don't know what card you are looking at. I'm looking directly at the card from the card reader.

oops, that's what I get for half reading

I certainly get $5 in joy this month crunching cards. I found some good upgrades.
