I don't understand why there's all this buzz about Kirby Puckett? I'm obviously not a Twins fan (obligatory division rival hatred), so what's all the fuss about?
He's the only new legend for this year not to have his best card yet. That's the only reason.
He may not get one this year. Olerud didn't last year.
Olerud isnt Kirby Puckett
You’re right, Olerud was better.
ones in the hall of fame and ones not.
Barry Bonds isn’t in the hall of fame and nobody would argue that Puckett was better than him. That’s an extreme case with different circumstances, but it still shows that one player being in the hall doesn’t necessarily make him better than a player that isn’t in the hall. Scott Rolen isn’t in the HoF and he was better as well.
I’ll trust the stats to judge who the better player is over a subjective vote.

Kirby Puckett's value in center field made him subjectively better than a first baseman, also note, also kirby puckett is a way bigger name than John Olerud. And kirby's career got cut short due to him legitmatley becoming blind after a hit by pitch, if that never happened he'd have at least 3-5 seasons left.

He wasn’t more valuable to his team just by playing CF lmao. His best season was 7.1 fWAR, while Olerud had two separate seasons with 8.1 fWAR. Olerud was more valuable to his team than Puckett was to his, regardless of positions. If we give Puckett the benefit of the doubt and say he was able to stay healthy (at least 600 PA each season) and put up a few more 2-3 fWAR seasons at the end of his career, he’d still fall short of Olerud’s total fWAR in around the same amount of PA. Olerud at his best was just that much better than Puckett at his best. Again, if Puckett was that much better than Olerud, why did Olerud have 2 seasons that were a whole win better than Puckett’s best? And I’m not saying Puckett was anywhere close to being a bad or average player, but there are certainly better players than him.

Puckett's card in game would be more exciting to use than john olerud if that makes sense.

Angels fans can hate on Pujols all they want, I don't entirely blame them. He had 11 dominant years in St Louis (find me a more dominate 11 year stretch by any hitter ever, other than Bonds). Only player ever to amass .300+ average, 30+ Home Runs and 100+ RBIs in 10 straight seasons.
But, his Angels run was nowhere near worth the money they paid him. And if he really said that, I would have beef too. But this Fraud talk? My buddy met Albert and his wife at the zoo this past year, he was taking his kid and a large group of autistic children on a tour. My friend works with a young man with autism and they happened to be at the zoo. Albert not only signed autographs, he invited them to join their tour and spent the whole day together. So when it comes to being a quality human. Albert is no Fraud. He is and always will be the man.
Also baseball out of any sport is one that will pay you for what you HAVE done, not what you possibly will do. Don’t hate on Pujols cause he has been average at best, blame your garbage can franchise for paying him that much

I stopped taking him seriously as soon as he claimed Pujols was 50 and a criminal con artist.
I can make up fun fiction too. Arte Moreno is actually functioning as the president of the Anaheim broken halos motorcycle club and Pujols was hired to be his bodyguard but once he got hurt in a shoot out with his former chapter the St Louis crimson wings MC, Moreno had no use for him and threw him out. Now Pujols, 50, on the run from both his old club and the authorities for age Fraud, has fled up north to moonlight as a doorman for the Los Angeles Blue Bums MC.

I would be fine with this, especially because of Chuck Nazty, but I don't see it happening because they said no more streams, making me think the 10th inning is the forever/rewind inning
Bring on Chuck Nasty! Best swing in the game!!
If you are speaking of Charlie Blackmon he had an Award series card that had a great swing. He didn’t get a 99 this year?
Yes he had a silver slugger card last year! Played waaaaaaaay above his numbers!

You stated it a little more directly than I would have but totally agree. That fact that Otani and Trout have one more playoff hit COMBINED than I do is just bad. Is there a team in the last 10 years that has mismanaged/wasted generational talent more than the Angels?
Trout is obviously amazing but imagine if he were on a better team?

I was wondering about the use of fraud myself. He was incredible. A lot of free agents take the Angels
but it never works out into playoffs and titles. Makes that 2002 team that much more special. -
Here’s a man dreaming cards from previous innings are in this program and then u can have the 3 players u named as extra bonuses

Any chance they will repost some of the henchmen too?

He is one of 3 legends and flashbacks I don't have. I won't get Alomar Gaaaaaaa....
Trout not yet, but I have my bid in and bronze Killebrew. So no I don't actually need him but the completionist in me does. -

I really want Griffey, but I am too far from him. Maybe by next year’s game.
