Did they add Mays yet?

Well Bro..... if Griffey was a WS reward a huge amount of people would be paying 1 million for him. You may not and that’s your choice but doesn’t mean others (many others) wouldn’t pay 1 million. I agree with you on the money grab two years in a row.
Griffey is more relatable to more that play the show than Mays. More people (myself included) have seen Griffey play live than they have Mays, seen Griffey on tv, collected his baseball cards, etc. Mays was an absolute stellar player but before many of our time. Sure we hear stories and seen the basket catch but never experienced it first hand. You have to factor all that personal aspect too when people want a card. Griffey absolutely would have a waiting list at 1 million.

I get that for all you younguns. I saw Mays play in person when I was 10 in 1965 when he hit 52 HR's...McCovey too. Koufax, Drysdale, Brock, Boyer, Rose and the Big Red Machine guys, Aaron etc.. I saw Griffey too and he had a great career but my heart is with all the Legends I grew up watching when I was first getting into organised ball. I see both sides though.

Very very cool! That explains why you have a soft spot for Mays. You are probably a select few on this board that got the honor to see some true legends. I was born in 83 and had the metrodome lol.
