@PeuswahBoy they we’re great. One of the best bullpens. However I remember Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux making my life miserable for years.
And Avery had the best pure stuff and was considered the Ace b4 he got injured and Maddux. Mazonne talks about it in one of his books how filthy Avery was...wish it coulda been the big 4 instead of three for a decade
Can't forget Wohlers and his inexplicable implosion. Only thing I had seen close to it at that point was Steve Sax not being able to throw the ball to first suddenly.
After that you had Ankiel and Knoblauch. It's crazy to me that suddenly a top caliber pro athlete just suddenly forgets how to do something they've been doing at a high level for the majority of their lives.
I've had a similar experience first hand. I'm a 225ish ave bowler and once during my approach, I led with the wrong foot. I knew something was off, and couldn't figure out how it happened as I had bowled for 20 years.
The next 3 months it was in my head somehow, and i couldn't release the ball correctly since it now affected my mechanics. My ave dropped to 150s. I eventually worked my way through it, and back to my normal ave.
I couldn't understand how things like Knoblauch could possibly happen to professionals, and after that, I now get it. It's pretty crazy what your brain can do to you, even with 20 years of muscle memory.

I’m 43 and love that the 90s seems to be a focus this year...
Jays have Henke, Carter, Molitor...and there are cards of Alomar and Olerud in here too...Id love to see a Devon White card...he’d cover a ton of room in the OF...maybe a Stieb, Hentgen, Ward, Fernandez and Gruber card!
-
I'm 49 and I will be adding my favorite player from my childhood, Dewey Evens to my outfield, don't care if he is the best or not.
-
Besides Clemons, Strawberry, Gooden, Schilling, i would also like to see a good Tori Hunter and even a Kirby Puckett. Yes I’m old. Really dislike and I mean really dislike Bonds so he can stay out.
-
@Walton02351 i get it. Eric Davis May not be the best and neither am I but he’s in my lineup forever.

45 and growing up in the 80's it is nice to have these cards. I am a dodger fan so the Orel card love it. Would love if they could get the rights to Koufax. I have been getting better at hitting, learning the pattern of my oponents pitching sequence and have patience. I hit well with Robinson love the 99 and card art. I have finished 2 of the 4 to prestige the Duke.

I'd love to see that 80's Dodger infield of Cey, Russell, Lopes and Garvey. Wouldn't mind seeing Steve Howe, Nando and Pedro Guerrero either.

The moments to get some of these 80's 90's cards bring back memories. Like the Dwight Evans lead off homerun to start the 86 season. remember staying home from school and watching that.

Yep, Even a Sax card, Yeager, Guerrero played for multiple teams that would be a great card. Willie Davis and Maury Wills.

Stieb was in the game not sure what happen to his rights. Him and a few others were 1 year wonders in the show. I would like to see Fisk back in the game.

Yes to all of those cards, Tim the Rock Raines, Bo Jackson, George Bell
