99 Beltran MLB
99 Gil Hodges (who!?) NL
99 Roger Clemens (Red Sox AL)I'd give this group a B-, 2nd year in a row with a Red Sox pitcher as AL rewards, not sure at all about Gil, Beltran as the MLB collection is a W, right up there with Mantle and Chipper.
First worthy MLB collection in 3 years (Jeter and Ruth not worth it due to sets and season / so many other 99's available)
-
Gil's a Dodgers legend, Hall of Famer, and was awarded the Bronze Star for service in World War II.
Took way too long for him to make the Hall of Fame.

This comment shows you’re about 12 years old and know next to nothing about baseball beyond present day.

@Tusken_Raiderz_PSN I dont care about old man jenkins hodges
-
@bjd10048_MLBTS he's better than most players today
-
@bjd10048_MLBTS Nobody cares about your opinion on Gil Hodges! Plenty of people will enjoy that card. You can go back to crying in the corner because you didn't get whoever it was you care about.
-
@bjd10048_MLBTS I can't believe they forgot to get your input before choosing these.
-
Three great choices! Huge W!
-
Google him, learn the history.

I’d rather Piazza than Hodges. Pretty disappointing for non Dodgers fans.

I saw Piazza in the trailer and i thought they were taking my suggestion by giving us Clemens/Piazza

L? Hahahahah

Hodges deserves a card.... not a 99 likely going to be one of the best cards in the game. He is not anywhere near comparable to Roger Clemmons. We are talking about a guy who never hit over .300, averaged 29 home runs during his career with a WAR of 43..... Oh you'd think it must be because he played in 1920s or the deadball era... nope played until 1963.
Beltran and Clemens I love and will be doing the collection asap!

Fair points on Hodges. For some reason I thought he was a catcher. When I found out he was a first baseman I was underwhelmed.
-
@bjd10048_MLBTS It’s just a weird choice. Not many people outside of Dodgers fans are even going to know who he is. I guess you gotta appease one of the biggest fan bases. Should have been Piazza IMO.
-
I think what you guys are ignoring in this years game is the fact that defense is supposed to matter. Not everyone is gonna have 125 across the board. Hodges had a career fielding % of .992, he finished top 20 in MVP votes 7 years in a row, 8 times total, 8 time AS which is kinda big considering the guys he was playing with, and a few gold gloves.
I cant help but wonder...everyone wants Ichiro in the game. Exactly what do you think his hitting attributes will be? 125 L/R contact, 28-34 Power?

First it's the free agents and now it's the legends(snort)
I wonder how much deferred salary it took for this(and what the aav is -
@PAinPA_PSN No idea what you’re even talking about here.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN Hodges plays first base, the least important position for defense and a notoriously crowded position
