@bjd10048 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.
-
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.

Unfortunately this may inflate AL card prices compared to NL because everyone will want Clemens while a few Brooklyn/LA Dodger die hards will want Hodges.

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?

@bjd10048 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.
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 -
@Easy_Duhz_It_ Hodges plays first base, the least important position for defense and a notoriously crowded position

I have wondered the same thing. Gwynn is a contact hitting legend but nobody uses him unless they artificially inflate his power.
Nobody uses high contact hitters with low power.
That said, he is a HOF so it would be cool to have him in the game, even if very few use him

Be that as it may, i'd rather have Mark Teixiera as my everyday first baseman over David Ortiz.

He was also the manager of one of the most famous teams in history (69 Mets), so two big fan bases know him. I do agree hes a weird choice for an NL collection.
Piazza's only card was a collection card last year, that would have been dirty to do that

@PAinPA No idea what you’re even talking about here.
It's a joke on the dodgers signing all the free agents and the numbers of players and amounts of deferred salaries they are carrying
