Why the Braves? Giants are getting no love
-
Jeff Kent would be cool
-
Meanwhile the Jays have 5,Pirates have 4, Royals have 3, as do the Rangers. It's a bit lopsided right now but then again it is only May.
-
Bonds or riot.
-
A diamond Matt Williams or Kevin Mitchell would be cool

You can’t talk about baseball in the 90s without mentioning the Braves. While perhaps not the best team of the decade, they did feature three HOF pitchers and several memorable position players like Andruw, Chipper, Justice, Lopez, etc. Even Sid Bream is a notable figure in 90s baseball history. I really don’t mind it so much, but I am a Yankees fan and my team gets represented quite well with every iteration of this game.

I'm not against the Braves, just that every card released right now is on the Braves. Okay, they had one long streak of division titles, but only one World Series. Like c'mon show the Giants some love, winning 3 World Series in 5 years. (not to mention they didn't cheat by using cameras or banging on trash cans)
I will accept Jeff Kent, post season Matt Cain, And the Freak.

As a Braves fan I of course was ecstatic about The Big 3 announcement. The 3 88 diamonds are solid cards. Smoltz is my favorite pitcher and I was reallllllly looking forward to his CP card. Very disappointed that it is a BR award like Glavine. How does his CP card play?
I can only imagine that Madduz will get one more 99 Diamond I'd imagine.
Smoltz also has to have another SP card coming at some point. Hopefully a 1996 CY Young Awards card. Led league with #1 24 wins 1st with 276 SOs to only 55 BBs #1 in FIP 2nd in HITS/9 1st in K's per 9.
The Heyward card surprised me a little not expected at all.
Love the Klesko card he was unreal in the 96 Postseason. Klesko may get another card with Padres since they usually use the team collection guys more than once in a season.
Steve Bedrosian 82 Rookie card really caught me out of no where but solid new legend. He won the CY Young in 87 with the Phillies so I'd expect a Phil's card of his at some point.
The 84 Gold Postseason Andruw not that great of a card but he will no doubt get a mid to upper 90s card at some point GG Prime SS.
Crime Dog was expected of course he was at his best in the mid 90s in ATL and was kinda been shafted not getting a SS card last year.
91 Overall Dale Murphy is very disappointing its his 1983 All-Star also won MVP. He hit .302 with 36 HRs and 30 SBs and led league in SLG % and OPS .933. He won MVP, SS, GG. He had very abnormal platoon splits in 83 in comparison to hi career. In 83 He had a 1.009 OPS in 500 PA vs RHs and .726 OPS in 180 PA vs LHs. Career he had about .800 OPS vs RHP and .900 vs LHP. During his prime excluding 83 he was about .850 vs RH and 1.000 vs LHP. In 87 he had a 1.120 OPS vs LHs. Don't understand why they picked 1983 AS as the one year out of his 7 All-Star years in 8 years that had backwards splits. Hopefully the Murph will get another end game type card. Same topic kind of they did same to Helton he hit over 40 HRs multiple yrs and his Boss card they used the yr he hit 30 with his lowest OPS which is why his card only has 70s in power. Helton was a bomber.
Prospect cards are OK Wright is nice, Pache and Waters are solid Bryse Wilson also decent at 83. Was wanting to see Ian Anderson as one of the Braves prospect SPers he is filthy.
Eddie Matthews was definitely expected early this yr and his Breakout card is nice.
As a Braves guy we can't complain lots of love in #'s. I can only dream for my Ron Gant early 90s card though....

As a Braves season ticket holder I am so hyped to see the players in the game - with that said heyward card is a little suspect, he wasn’t very good past his first year, also I am praying we see a better Acuna card he’s going to be an absolute monster when they start back up
