Old Time Players..that need to be in the game

I know they are not “old time” but Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden need to be in this game

Joe D and Koufax are probably the last of the "classic" legends that could qualify as "The Big Reveal".
And if Pete or Joe Jackson want to ever be in the game, they can create a CAP like everyone else. They'll never, ever, EVER be in.
If shoeless Joe wants to create a CAP, someone will have to raise him from the dead, and if that happens I don’t think playing this game will be his first priority

Sparky Lyle and Tug McGraw we need some lefty pen arms

I think the return of Cobb, Ted and Hornsby could qualify as the big reveal, although that would be quite lame. And besides the obvious steroid guys the big unit could definitely be a big reveal as well, although he isn't a "classic" legend

Cody Bellinger. He used to be great!

Rose and shoeless joe will never be in the game.
If one gets in over the other, then Rose. He didn’t bet on his own team. Many people gamble on sports games, but shoeless joe was a straight up cheater

Read up on shoeless joe. He signed on to something he didn't understand and got screwed. He was illiterate. Just look up his statline from the 1919 world series and he was doing anything but throwing those games

I find it so hypocritical that the league has them banned for life , but now have officially sponsored gambling partners.

Hank Greenberg (DET)
Sandy Koufax (LAD)
Tinker to Evers to Chance (CHC)
Satchel Paige (CLE) and many non-MLB Negro League stars. -

In an interview on The Dan Patrick Show in March of 2007, Rose said, “I bet on my team every night. I didn't bet on my team four nights a week. I bet on my team to win every night because I loved my team, I believed in my team,” he said.

I assume the Negro Leagues will be in the game as soon as SDS figures out the rights situation.

If the Sox had won the series Joe probably would have been MVP

Definitely learn little more about the man. Not only did he have no idea what he had agreed to, if the Mafia threatened you amd your family, I have a feeling you'd keep your mouth shut too.
Oh and he hit .375 with a .593 slugging percentage, 6 rbis and 6 runs scored. I wish the guys on my team would throw the series with those stats. He was no means completely innocent, but definitely shouldn't be dismissed as a cheater pit of hand. -

Those casinos give them money and unbanning Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe won't bring them any money! It's all about the Benjamins!

Well, Ryan Braun retired this year and won’t be in the next game. If he’s added back to the game as a legend before these players are, I call BS

Except the problem was when he didn't bet for his team; what in law we call in contrario...

Can we get Roger Maris? Either an MVP card or 61 home run Milestone?
-
Carl Yastremszki and Yogi Berra would be good as well.

He never betted against his team. I have no clue where you are getting that. He admitted to betting and everything that has ever been found on it shows he only bet on his team.
