I'm still going with multiple collection rewards for collecting an X amount of cards per program and then a final collection reward for collecting everything.
I agree on multiple cards, but who is your main reward guess?
If I'd had to take a guess I'd go with Babe Ruth.
-
A trio of made up legends. Reggie Stocker, Pepe Alazar, and Domingo Ayala.
-
Johnson and Maris.
-
Pedro Cerrano.....
Hoping for a tiered collection instead of just 1 guy. I'm assuming the chase is in regards to the HR chase so hoping for some new cards:
Sosa, Macgwire, Ruth, Aaron and Bonds/Stocker. Even Maris if they got the rights would be cool to start it off. -

It’s gonna be Ruth and I’m going to be pretty disappointed. Really wish they’d step up and bring in a new legend for the main reward.

The Reggie Stocker theory is what I am going with Gomesdalegend did a good video on this and alot of his points make sense mainly the one about the MLB 16 servers shutting down the same day the collection come outs.

I do too, but Bonds, Arod, and Aaron/Clemente are the only players that remotely compare to Honus last year, in the game or new legends. None of thise seem like midseason drops to me. No matter who it is, it will be disappointing to someone because no one compares to a 5 tool shortstop with that positional flexibility. Babe, Ted, Sosa, Mcgwire, and Frank are bad defensively/slow/can be easily replaced. Mays would be worth it but there is 0 chance they make him a collection reward 2 years in a row. Only current legend in the game remotely worth it besides Mays is Foxx with a C secondary IMO. I will do the collection regardless

What if the clues are about an actual card and not the player himself?
-
I partly hope its Reggie Stocker, because it will be insane and partly don't want it to be because I'll actually have to care about the Collection.
-
I think it will be Ruth.
I think there is also a good chance it could be Maris, i mean both Maris and Mantle were chasing Ruth in 61, until Mantle got hurt, and with Mantle in the game, it makes sense.
I think there is an outside shot that it is DiMaggio.
Everyone else really feels like either an underwhelming pick or long shot pick.
-
Phil Kiekro.
-
My gut says Babe Ruth.... but thinking about it, having a Yankee as the main collection reward and a Yankee as the main live collection reward is redundant.
I would love Ty Cobb. But I think the player is going to have some semblance of power, which eliminated the dead-ball era.
I think they stay away from the steroid era for some reason
Which brings me to my final guess: Frank Robinson.

One guess I haven't seen...
It's the 25 year anniversary of Cal Ripken breaking the streak. Could the collection reward Ripken and Gehrig?
That makes a lot of sense!!! I’ll go with your answer

Robinson would be awesome, not sure how it fits the clues, but that would be a must collect for me..

If they’re following the Wagner model of last year which is dropping an all around card those 3 you outlined (Aaron/Arod/Bonds) would be ideal as they all where 5 tool superstars and you can justify giving them 90+ on everything. I just don’t want to be stuck with a Babe Ruth that can mash but can’t play a single position adequately. I think they did a good job with Honus last year but this year if it’s not a new legend it’s probably going to be disappointing.
