Randy Johnson: The chase for = Chase Field, BIG = The Big Unit
I always thought UNIT was one of those system sellers that they'd want to publicize before release.
On the other hand, the silhouette on the Legends & Flashback menu is of a LHP...

Koufax?

Signature Babe Ruth that has crazy pitching and hitting stats. 2 way monster. The signature cards represent a players entire career and ruth was both and can be represented with a two way signature player. The fact they released mckay as a two way headliner shows they are willing to give guys good two way stats.
Also fits the LHP silhouette -

Also fits the LHP silhouetteyou can't pinch hit with SP and you can't put them in the field at the start of the game, so being a 2 way player is pointless

It is starting to look a bit like Randy...although I still think pitcher would be an odd choice for this collection. Given what it will take to get him, I feel like it needs to be someone who plays every game.
Big Hurt would be extremely disappointing...but also a candidate.
-
I think they said in the stream last week that it was someone that everyone would want in their lineup. AKA not a pitcher. My money is on Babe, Aaron, Bonds, or, if they want to do something different, Josh Gibson.
Edit: Just thought of another one that seems likely - Big Mac.
-
Mark McGwire is nicknamed Big Mac not to mention those forearms were BIG.

I feel like if it's McGwire the collection is not worth it. There need to be multiple players - Babe, Maris, Sosa, McGwire, Bonds.

I don't think we see the McGuire/Sosa this season. If they have their rights they market them for next season.
-
If it’s McGwire, or Randy Johnson, I’m killing myself. I’ve barely played, flipped or collected cards this year and I’ve hardly completed any programs, nor do I have time to do so.
Imagine if they make it a sellable card though, like TA3. Lock in 600k worth of cards for a sellable card. Do you keep or market it at 1m stubs? -
Its Randy Johnson. BIG unit. CHASE field.
-
Could it be a pitcher and a hitter? There’s actually two silhouettes on the legend flashback tab so maybe Koufax, Gibson? Or some names along those lines. Won’t be a marketable name, but I’d be happy to be wrong about that.
-
Im hyped if it’s McGwire. I have a few collections full and over 500k in stubs waiting. McGwire might be one of the few cards I’d lock in for. The more I think about it (depending on requirement cost) I’m not sure I’d do it for Babe. I’m not sure I’d do it for any card I’ve used in the past except, maybe, Griffey. And do you lock in for 99 Griffey when you could get the HRD or postseason ones so much cheaper? Should be interesting to see.
Honestly, I’m tired of the speculation. I wish Tuesday would just get here already.

Literally losing sleep over this, watching and working the market and trying to make sure I’m flush.

Possibly more than one player and tiered?
It does say Legend 'S'.

-
If it’s not Hank Aaron or Clemente or a player like that, I’ll be disappointed. I want Randy Johnson, but a pitcher should absolutely not be the big collection reward.
-
It's McGwire.
Big Mac. The Chase for HR in a season.
Meh.
-
It’s gonna be 99 Babe Ruth two way player who can play as a pitcher or position player with max out hitting stats and pretty good pitching stuff . His a pitcher who can hit or can be slotted as a position player before games in the outfield or 1st base .
-
Julio Franco? He wore #28 for the Braves in 2001, and he had a BIG leg kick.
