The collection drops on the 28th and the first hint was "The Chase For..." which could refer to the Chase for 28. Only one team is chasing 28 right now, which is the Yankees. This leads me to believe its a Yankee. Mantle's clearly been taken, which could lead you to Ruth or Gehrig, who are already in the game, or maybe Maris, who hasn't been revealed. None of them are great fielders or runners, which means they could be easily replaced. A five-tool player makes the most sense. DiMaggio fits this bill perfectly, and Jeter less so but still plausible. The late clue was "BIG". Many have interpreted this as referring to size and I agree. Who is a big Yankees player who can do a little bit of everything? 2017 Rookie of the Year, Silver Slugger, Big Aaron Judge
...or the BIG BAMBINO
I'm pretty sure it's the "great Bambino"

Th only "Big" players I can think of are:
Frank Thomas
Randy Johnson
Don Drysdale
Walter Johnson
Andres Galaraga
Mark McGwireMcGwire and Johnson are the only ones that will move the needle
-
I think it’s Babe Ruth but I would love it being Randy Johnson
-
Still sticking with New Legend Aaron. Final answer...
-
Hector Villanueva
-
Roger Cedeño
-
Manny Ramirez
Or more controversial Pete Rose, just think though a chance to use one of the greatest hitters and speed threats , plus it would catch a lot of people off by suprise.
-
I’ve been researching this topic for the last few days and cross referencing home runs batting averages stolen bases and fielding pct, my verdict is that it’s not a new legend sorry to say. It’s going to be Willy Mays... look with a career 660 home runs and an average of 36-37 home runs yearly, career batting average of .302 WaR of 156.2 3283 hits 1903 RBIs and 338 stolen bases where he had seasons of 40+ I think it’s going to be Willy mays

Waiting until today's likely Twitter clue before making final guess.
But Aaron is 2021. Mr. 755 is gonna sell a lot of Show copies on XBox and Switch.
Hence the reason why I said against my better judgment. I agree with you and also think his name is too big for a mid-year drop. That said, who else but a Fake Bonds (Stocker) was involved in any type of meaningful chase (unless the whole chase clues is BS) and would be in "Everyone's lineup" as they said?
While McGuire would be cool, he's way too one dimensional and would probably end up a bench bat after Pujols.
Btw... waiting for another clue is BS lol. Give us your guess today friend.
McGwire...McGwire!!!!

The chase for all time home run leader? Its Barry Bonds. If its Aaron Judge I'll vomit all over my keyboard.

I have meetings all morning so I will be home by 2 est. Sweet timing, let’s get this show on the road.
-
Look up actual rare baseball cards (Honus being #1)
It's Ruth, Aaron, or Mays. Really no wiggle room at all.

If it's ruth, It's an L. Having someone who can't play defense cost this much isn't worth it. Mays would be good but he was a collection award last year so don't think it will be him. Aaron is a huge name but not a name that will get young kids excited so it definitely could be him. I think arod and stocker are also strong possibilities.
-
To quote Brad Pitt
"His fielding does not matter."
Especially if you're looking at a homerun every 5 ab's
Personally I'd like it to be Hank Aaron

Big Papi would fit the big players idea, had he not just been an inning boss.
Ryan Howard’s nickname, although little used, was the Big Piece. Howard would fit the BIG criteria and Chase Utley would fit the Chase clue if they’re tied together, but there’s a zero percent change either of them are part of the collection reward. Especially with Rollins being one of the inning bosses right now.
-
I think McGwire makes sense because we’ve been flooded with 1B options for months. The only one missing that comes to mind is Lou Gehrig, and he’s a lefty (Pujols can be 3B or OF).
-
Wish list is multiple players and the ultimate card being a 5 tool stud
If it’s not a 5 tool player I’ll be sorely let down
-
Still sticking with multiple rewards and Aaron as the King of the Collection.
