Ripken won a World Series in like 82 or 83.
Here’s a crazy baseball stat for everyone. Did you know that the Orioles had four 20 games winners in the same season? You barely see one pitcher per team hit 20 wins now. That’s mostly because there’s so many relief pitchers now.
I think it's that I've grown up in an ERA where the Orioles being good is very rare, so I have that view of them
Well in 1988 the Orioles started the season 0-21.
Wow, seriously?
Yeah the O's beat the Phillies in 83. Ripken won the MVP that year.

Spring Cleanup had 1 Starter, 1 Reliever, 1 Corner IF, 1 MI, 1 OF. Summer had C, 2 OF, RP. I'm going to say probably 1 OF, 1 Corner IF, Starter, Reliever for this one other than Ripken. I'll also guess Bob Gibson and Rickey along with Kenley Jansen and Todd Helton

1st Boss appears to be Baltimore
2x Gold Glove winner
1x World Series ChampionAre we getting Ripken?
Who else do you think will he a boss in this Program?
My Guesses: Ripken, Bob Gibson, Joe Morgan, Goose Gossage, Rickey Henderson
They’ve already done a Legend Boss only program this year (Sizzling Summer [and Roy&Friends too, I guess). They’re not going to do another. Expect at least one flashback. (“Maxx” Scherzer?)

Why is everyone saying 5 bosses? It's 3 bosses (according to the Live Content Schedule).

Apologies. I just assumed 5 because we haven't had a 3 boss program all year

No worries! Thanks for the quick apology.

I’d guess a reliever and an OFer now.
-
It’s 3 bosses and a universal 98 “sub boss”
-
My bad, I read it too fast and saw the 5 for henchmen. Plus I was assuming it would be like the last two programs with 5 bosses.
Yeah, good call on the flashbacks. I'm never sure who to pick seeing as they could get an end of year card. Maybe someone who hasn't done anything all year except screw around and might he suffering from Ringworm?
Ps: No I don't think Tatis is getting any more cards this year. From Cover boy to disgraced player.
-
Wow Ripken, really? Although he was a great player IRL he has never had a good swing in this game.
New Griffey is a 90 at best
We have been flooded with FS this year including the current Headliner. YukIsn’t it time for a Mays Mantle or Chipper? For me this years game and content has been mediocre at best but I guess it is as intended. Disappointing.

Hoping it’s a good Cal Ripken. Usually his cards are pretty hard to use because he has a slow swing. Maybe they’ll give him a card everyone will like. I’d love that.
This one should have 110+ hitting attributes across the board. Maybe even 115+. Looking forward to trying his swing again. I tried it in custom practice this evening and liked his stride.

If there’s anybody who wants a good Cal card it’s me. I live in Baltimore and go to Orioles games all the time. I’ll be super stoked to have Cal on SS and Brian Roberts and 2nd. I’d be super hype if they release another 99 Adley like last year. That card was insane for me. Side note Brian Roberts is really good this year. He’s put up better numbers than Jackie for me so far and hits way more tanks.

Here’s a crazy baseball stat for everyone. Did you know that the Orioles had four 20 games winners in the same season? You barely see one pitcher per team hit 20 wins now. That’s mostly because there’s so many relief pitchers now.
Did this happen in the live ball era?

I’m not really sure. I wasn’t born when this happened but I bet SaveFerris knows. I do know it was in the 70s and Jim Palmer was one of the four.

1971, they won the pennant and faced the pirates in the WS.
the 1920 white sox also had 4 20 game winners.
the only 2 times it has happened. -

Just so you know the “Live Ball Era” started before petty much anyone alive was born. It began in 1920.
I appreciate the information, I didn’t know that about Baltimore. -

That would be great if they fixed his swing. He is usually slow for a middle infielder, but if they actually give him 110+ contact, power, and vision, - then I could probably deal with his under 70 speed.
I’m curious, what would make you think they would make a Cal Ripken Jr. card with power like that anyway? -

The Braves had 3 guys hit 40 HR in the same season.
