Twitter hint: shows several quirks including Thief, unbreakable, pressure cooker, hitting machine and 20/20 vision.
Any guesses? A lot of people were throwing out Whit Merrifield (I guess 40 stolen bases?)

It is at Kaufmman Stadium...
Whit Merrifield's 78 LS card does have three of the five quirks (20/20 Vision, Thief, and Unbreakable along with Road Warrior and First-Pitch Hitter)...
The other Royals that could fit those quirks are George Brett (99 MVP card 1980 season) and Johnny Damon's 2000 MVP season (93 2nd Half card for 2000 season) can be ruled out...
Only other Royal possibility is a Future Stars Kyle Isbel, but there is the 99 FS Bobby Witt, Jr, so I don't know if they would give them another FS card and Isbel seems a bit low on the prospects list (best I saw him at was #166) so this is unlikely.

Yeah, I thought that might be Kaufmann. I think you're right. Definitely not Johhny D or Brett as they already have their high diamonds, gotta be Merrifield unless it's somehow Mondesi and they've dug really deep for a milestone.

Mondesi

Mondesi
I don't see him having pressure cooker or hitting machine quirks, but what I believe is the biggest miss on this one is that Mondesi doesn't have any awards and no milestone achievement. Only time he hit for the cycle was in Low A Lexington. Also, he hasn't hit his prime yet, so I doubt SDS would give him a Prime series card. One last thing, I would think SDS would show a Speedster quirk if it was Mondesi.

It's a milestone card for sure. I definitely think it's Whit I just hear all about how good Mondesi was in a previous year that I got hopeful

Don't think they have the rights to Gordon...really seems that this one is Whit.

Mondesi would be amazing, my guess here is Shane Victorino, the Kansas City Royals field is a red herring.
-
Shane is a legend and not a flashback. I think Merrifield is a safe bet.
-
I think Merrifield os the obvious choice here. He has hit several milestones(40 doubles/40 steals, 200 Hits). Also the hint gave the unbreakable quirk(for high durability). Mondesi isn't durable and Merrifield has the highest active games played streak

If it’s merrifield, I think 200 hits would be the way to go. It would just be weird seeing “40/40” and it only being 40 doubles instead of HR lol

Very good point, Merrifeld is indeed the safe guess here.

I know it won't happen, but a Hal McRae card would be great.

Whit Merrifield 97 overall 31 game hitting streak it is. Could be a good program, he has a nice swing.

Moments were pretty easy. For some reason I struggled a little with the first and took me about 10-15 minutes for that one. The others took about 5 minutes total for them all. So overall it only took 15-20 minutes.
-
I struggled a bit with Whit.
A couple of Moments had me at wits end
https://youtu.be/pYEwb6cJYf0I kept getting SC top 10 plays, mainly diving catches against me, but finished.
When I saw 45K XP for the cash in I was like:
