-
- 11/17 New Conquest

- 11/20 Team Affinity Jolt Captain Updates
- 11/20 New Program & Conquest
If they are lazy and take the easy way out then they will just upgrade Jolt cards to 99s.
- 26 Legends will get a duplicate 99 (Ortiz would get his 3rd)
- 34 new players will get 99s which will make a significant dent in the ignored legends list (Thats a positive)
Several players will get 99s for teams other than the team they are known for
- Sabathia, Paul O'Niell and Gossage will not be Yankees
- Corbin Burnes will have a 99 Diamondback card
- Cliff Lee gets a 99 Mariners card (he pitched 13 games for them)
- Dennis Eckersley gets a 99 Boston card (1 season and a 4.75 ERA)
- Gaylord Perry gets a 99 Rangers card (he played less than a season there)
- Roger Clemens gets a 99 Toronto card
- Ted Simmons gets a 99 Brewers
There will be some angry fans for some of those fan bases.

- Dennis Eckersley gets a 99 Boston card (1 season and a 4.75 ERA)
Sir, Eck was on Boston for many years.

@dolenz_psn it will be like the year where they gave Griffey his best card as a Cincy Red milestone instead of a Mariner and the community went bonkers.
-
Really at this point, the World Series is over so they should give away the farm.
-
And he some of his best years ever there too.
-
Eck getting a 99 Starter card for Boston is fine, its too bad we cant bring him in to close his own game
-
- Dennis Eckersley gets a 99 Boston card (1 season and a 4.75 ERA)
Sir, Eck was on Boston for many years.
My mistake. I glanced and just saw his line for his final year, when he went back to Boston.
Doesn't change my main point though that there are going to be some angry fan bases

Goose's two best years were with the White Sox and Pirates so spreading the love a little for him is good.
That Kluber Yankee card makes a little more sense now.
-
I am editing my original post. Based on WAR, you are right on the money. I think making the Goose a Yankee is more in line with subjective reasoning. God, I’m getting old. I remember him in the ‘77 All Star Game looking so strange in black and gold.
-
His single best year may have been in ‘75 with the White Sox but his next two were probably with Yankees…even with those infamous homers against the Royals.
Check out his 77 with the Pirates
Crazy that he was a starter between those 2 years

@Teak2112_MLBTS Ha ha! You beat me to it before I edited my post.
