Romantic about baseball?
-
I am wondering what the heck this will be. Does anyone in the community have some guesses?
-
Other option would be the 25th anniversary of the release of "For the Love of the Game". A Billy Chapel card?!?

Hope it's the latter,with all the baseball movies he's done it's way past time to get a Kevin Costner card.
-
Good point about Costner.
"For a single day, the cathedral that is Yankee Stadium, belongs to Chapel!"
I don't know if Vin Scully actually wrote the script line for the movie, but it sounds exactly like something he would form during an actual game and say it as a perfect coda to a perfect game.

for the players with the most heart, no doubt.

How is that defined or quantified?

Does the player look like David Eckstein? (You know what I'm talking about...)

Imagine they got the rights to movie characters? Crash Davis, Ricky Vaughn, Jake Taylor, Benny Rodriguez, Billy Chapel, Eddie Harris(just slap a Jamie Moyer wind up on him), Pedro Cerrano, Hamilton Porter, Willie Mays Hayes, Gus Cantrell etc. Total pipedream, but imagine

I was thinking it would be players significant others. Like last years best dressed series or whatever it was called, lol.

Here is their twitter tease
The tension of a close game, the joy of a perfect play, the rally cap, and winning it all... we love baseball!
Romantic About Baseball Program coming tomorrow in
-
Here are the cards they have teased. I have no idea how this mish mash of cards tie into the program title.
And how is CF an OOP card for a player who played CF more than any other position?
-
@Dolenz_PSN Justice was on the Moneyball team...Brett Phillips hit the HR while the girl w/ cancer that was there to see him was being interviewed. Jon Singleton wrote one of the greatest films of all time (Boyz N the Hood)...LOL J/K but I think he had a long career in the minors or came back from an injury or something was told he'd never play in the bigs...Smashed a Dinger in his firs PA. Cal Raleigh's got that Lovely Dumper....And how many children are named Kris in the Chicago area after the cubs WS win....
All Speculation here...

@GixxerRyder750_PSN RIP Ricky Baker
-
@Sarge1387_PSN Adding to this, given his death yesterday, you could add the negro league players from the movie "The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings".

Awful program. Zero useful cards. What are they doing?

Giving us something to do and cards for the collection until the 99 Team Affinity...which is the only thing people care about anyway.
-
It was nice to see that the moments at least fit the bill for the theme of the program.
Of course, I saw that Ozzie Smith moment and thought, "wouldn't it have been nice to earn the Ozzie card in this program instead of him being a henchman for Jason Heyward in that mini-season? (which was kind of sacrilege for long time Cardinal fans)"
As for the moments I never want to use David Justice again. Man did I struggle with him against a pitcher who only throws breaking/offspeed pitches. I got a HR with Ozzie in a fraction of the time it took me to get my first XBH with Justice.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN There’s no reason they couldn’t give us usable cards. These are worse than most of out of position guys.
-
@PAinPA_PSN Giving the passing of James Earl Jones, a card with both of them together would be tremendous.
