Did I forget your favorite player? Did I list someone already in the game? Am I a [censored] moron? Leave your input below. Looking forward to your suggestions and comments.
Good list. With the Padres and Dave Winfield, I think we've had a Winfield card in the past but I could be wrong. Another Padre I'd like to see is Ken Caminiti. Steroids will probably keep him out but at least he owned up to it and apologized. A Cammy card from from his MVP series would be amazing. Switch hitter with power, contact and great defense!
Caminiti would be a good addition. I think Winfield, as well as a few others on my list were in past games, but SDS lost the rights or something. Jake Peavy would be another fun Padre to have in.

Oh yeah, good call. A Jake Peavy cy young card would be very cool!

Winfield was in 18, and unfortunately he wasnt very usable. His swing was terrible.

I would put a Nomo rookie year card and a Strawberry prime in there.
Dude I would love a Nomo. I imitated his delivery in little league but I would absolutely hate his delivery in the game lol. Could cook a steak by the time he releases the ball lol

Nomo would be so much fun to use. That delivery would be so unhittable.

Nice list. Koufax and Strawberry are needed, though.
Great choices. The only reason Koufax and Strawberry aren’t on the list are so I could have Valenzuela and Gooden.
And that’s why you shouldn’t limit it to 1 per team

Meh, half the point of the list was to limit it to one player per team. Of course there are gonna be tough decisions and personal favorites over better players. It’s like the equivalent on a “desert island disc” list.

Lol I remember this. I’m was so excited to get Winfield’s card and was so disappointed I couldn’t hit a lick with him. In Winfield’s defense, no contact hitter could hit in 18. Would like to see how he would do in this years game. Plus Steinbrenner was an [censored] to him. That’s neither here nor there, but any chance I have to rip George Steinbrenner, I’ll take

Winfield hit over 450 HRs. He was a slugger. SDS didnt reflect it with that card. It's too bad.

All I want is Prince Fielder and A.Beltre.

Beltre was so tough to leave off the list. Spent years watching him own third base in Seattle. Honestly, I could’ve put either Fielder on the list. Prince and Cecil would be mashers. There would have to be a moment of Prince hitting one out of Tiger Stadium when he was a little kid. That was a playground legend in the early 90s!

92 Postseason Deion Sanders

Pedro Martinez.

Dodgers Steve Sax is all I could ever ask for....No one would use him but me, but it would be the dream.
I lie, for pitching I would love Pedro, Fernando, or Koufax.

You sound like a Dodgers fan, no love for Ramon Martinez? Raul Mondesi? Pedro Guerrero?

I am a Dodgers nut since I was 7 (1981). Loved Pedro, Mike Scioscia, Orel, Mariano Duncan, and the list goes on and on.
So would be stoked for any of the guys you mentioned, but Sax was my first sports hero, so that would be the be all end all.

Pedro over Clemens for the Sox. And I love Roger.

If I’m allowed to make one change on this list, it would be to replace Clemens with Pedro. Still can’t believe I left him off
