I remember him being walked with nobody on a lot.

2001 Bonds. Roid up, bruh.
We are never getting bonds. His speed and defense would be horendous in those years too. I am talking overall cards that aren't a liability in the field. Bonds would be no better than soto last year.

Yup. That's also one of the greatest years
The pitchers were intentionally walking in runs just so they wouldn’t face him with the bases juiced. Crazy
It was insanity. Possibly the greatest eye at the plate ever and anything in the strike zone was liable to go 500ft... Why pitch to him at all..
Plus he just crowded that plate with his enormous elbow guard and wagged that bat. Scary AF -

True . But a Bonds Sig would be a max everything except arm... But yes, will never happen

Greatest offensive player of all time.

If you don't count the 1800's guys, 1913 Walter Johnson or 1923 Ruth are the correct answers.
If you want to count modern era only, 1985 Doc.

Pretty sure the LS collection reward is a Prime Card of that year. I may be wrong but it sounds familiar
I think Prime cards consist of a 3 year span if I remember correctly. So, maybe 1955-57?

I don't think a sig card would do that because they would take averages of all his season's and not just the roid years. I think his mvp cards of 2001 through what 2003?? would be max hitting stats but his defense would suck.

Yeah a prime card isn't a one year card. I think it's 3 or 5 average card..

Sig takes the peak of all his years. Not average. Which is why Sig cards are jacked

How about a 1999 Veteran Ted Williams "Still hits better than everyone" Diamond series card?
I also want a Barry Bonds evolution series card -- his rating doesn't increase, just his head size.

are you a red sox fan? his triple crown year wasn't better than most of may's best years or mantle's triple crown year. Did he steal bases? he was barely average in the field if i recall correctly but i may be wrong on that..

He has the 4th highest bWAR and fWAR season in positional player history... And you are wrong on that. He was awesome defensively
And I hate the red sox lol

I don't care about those stats. His numbers weren't better than those other guys. I get if you take him off the red sox they lose more and mantle and may's had better teammates but just pure numbers. He wasn't better. He wasn't better in the field than either of those guys.

Yes we do!!
And I disagree again lol.
Is Yaz a better player than Mays or Mantle for their career? Of course not!!!
Yaz is an inner circle HOFer, a 7 time GG, 100 WAR player..
Mantle is the greatest switch hitter ever and Mays is top 5 all time.. we aren't comparing careers here..But in a single season, other than Ruth, nobody ever led the league they were in by more categories than Yaz in '67. He was insane and did it all on a garbage team carrying them to the playoffs. Every baseball historian talks about that season. Not just sox fans..

I just disagree. It's not mantle's fault that ted williams was playing in his triple crown year and not very many great players were playing in yaz's. I know historians talk about yaz's year but they don't revere it like they do the top ten players. He was amazing that year but it wasn't a better year than mantle's. Did may's ever win the triple crown? I am thinking his 1954 season is one the all time greats... I may be wrong again tho.. I need to look at may's..

May's is a weird one. His obp was never really high because he didn't walk alot. He swung and put the ball in play. I did go back and look into his better years but i don't think any were better than the yaz one. So i concede to you on may's. We are at a stalemate on the mantle year tho.

I'm not going by the fact Yaz won a triple crown.. that's just a dumb accolade for finishing first in AVG, HR and RBI. 2 of those 3 being overrated stats...
He finished first in runs, hits, HR, RBI, AVG, OBP, SLG, TB, won the GG, and did it all during a downturn in hitting in baseball and also played on a bad team.. hence the 4th highest WAR season of all time...Mantle and Mays obviously had huge seasons too, Mantle back to back 56 and 57 actually were identical.. you could say his 57 was better (in WAR it was .1 better lol) Mantle would be top 5 if he didn't wear down his body with drinking and he had terrible knees.. Mays was elite for 20+ years... Longevity..
