Question for Andy

In both his rookie season, 1952 and then in 1960, Mantle led the league in .OPS. both years, his league leading .OPS's were 2 of the lowest of his career, both below 1000. the 1952 league ERA was 3.67 compared to 3.41 in 1968, the Year of the Pitcher, and the 4.02 of 1961, the pre-steroid HR year. sometimes in these down years for certain stats, the leaders cards r very Strat friendly and vice versa. are they available anywhere for viewing? thanks

The top 10 across baseball in 1952 were:
1. Stan Musial .9700
2. Mickey Mantle .9243
3. Larry Doby .9240 CARD IN THE SET
4. Al Rosen .9108 CARD IN THE SET
5. Jackie Robinson .9044
6. Ted Kluszewski .8923
7. Hank Sauer .8920 CARD IN THE SET
8. Vic Wertz .8875
9. Gil Hodges .8857
10. Ralph Kiner .8839

HOME RUNS were down in 1952, led by Sauer & Kiner with 37. This was the only season between 1941 and 1974 where the home run leaders finished under 40 HRs, except for the WW2 years).

my OPS numbers were for the American League only. what about 1960? surprised by Mantle Fielding errors.

There is a 1960 Mantle card in the mystery set.

love the 60 card but if history repeats Strat will alter/change the card for ATG. compare both the Mantle and Maris cards from the 60's Mystery Game to ATG cards and they are very different.

forgot, its their 61 year to compare.
