Wording on the post suggests these are henchmen, not bosses.
Good call. I hope so. I reread it. I’m pretty sure you’re right.

Yep these are 100% henchmen. I'm 90% certain of that.
@AlexTheGreater7_XBL I thought Dave Parker was The Cobra. That would be awesome too. But glad to see Stargell with a 99. The Pirates have a lot of great cards this year. It's a bummer they don't have any really great historic pitchers. Same deal with the Reds.
Umm. John Candelaria. Steve Blass. Bob Friend. Kent Tekulve. Dock Ellis. Doug Drabek. Rick Rhoden. Bob Walk.

Dave Parker is nicknamed Cobra.
Stargell is nicknamed Pops (from the 1979 WS team when just about all were 20s and he was late 30s, 39 i think) -

Too bad none of them are in this game or in the Hall of Fame. Not saying their weren't good, but when you create a Pittsburgh theme team the beat you can do is a Gerritt Cole rookie card.
I would love a Dock Ellis LSD Milestone perfect game card. The batter starts seeing
and 
while trying to hit. -

Haha, no need for forgiveness. Although now I'm looking forward to a 99 Dave Parker. My Pittsburgh lineup is already stacked.
Honus Wagner
Oneil Cruz
Roberto Clemente
Willie Stargell
Jason Bay
Andrew McCuthen
Jason Kendall
Ralph KinerJust need a 3B.

Yeah I can see that...."Players you get along the Path" could mean they are Henchmen. Well done Farris.

I see your Mickey Mantle and raise you one Ken Griffey Jr with real stats.
SP - Lefty Grove
RF - Reggie Jackson (Mr October)
SS - Luis Aparicio (I don't know what other SS is missing still)
SP - Bob Gibson
1B - Jimmie Foxx
RF - Babe Ruth (A 99 overall)
CP - Rob Dibble (I'll keep guessing it until it happens)
C - Gary Carter -

C - Gary CarterThe other option is a mix of legends and FBs. Then you can throw Lindor, Xander and Trea into the mix foe SS. I like your picks but can't see it being Aparicio.

There's actually not a single legend shortstop that hasn't either gotten a 99 or Retro finest so flashbacks almost have to be included

Me either it would just be so lame of a pick next to the other names. Hopefully it is a mix and that Trea card is in there because it's one of the best

Alright @the_dragon1912. You're up. I think you're right. They'll try to avoid active playoff people in case they earn a PS card but the only possibility worthy of a 99 that's not a FB would be a new legend (cough....Jeter....cough). But there is no way they would wait this long to advertise him. When he's in the game, he will be like Randy, marketing tool to push pre-orders and micro transactions.

Wow that MadBum card was a 99 in 16 The Show. Depreciation at its finest
I think they made it a reliever card. It's the only thing that makes sense him being a 97 for that PS performance
It says starting pitcher on the pic.
It sure does. So an L for SDS. Madbum’s performance in 2014 was phenomenal.
It really was. He was unbelievable. I don’t understand why we’re going backwards with cards now. A 97 Mad [censored] is great but it would’ve made more sense earlier in the year.
Those are not the bosses though, it say earn on your way to the bosses, or something like that. At least we finally got a 98 Whitey Ford! I actually never liked MadBum’s cards. They just never clicked with me.
