Collector's Edition Reveal on February 2
-
I think its Jeter. To announce the other cover athlete 4 days after the basic version seems rushed. Like they are trying to hit that 2/2 date. Instead of just waiting until Monday.
-
2/2 is Groundhog Day.
Which means our cover athlete is obviously...

Jeter in real life was a no doubt first ballot hall of famer. Great player, great leader, great winner, etc. He just wouldn't translate that well to the game. If they are generous his hitting attributes would be Honus Wager but with low 80's defense and low 80's speed. There are so many names that people throw out every year like Jeter, or Manny that if they were in the game most people wouldn't use them.
You best believe SDS would make sure Jeter translates well to the game. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

If you’re releasing a 2023 game wouldnt you announce it on .. 2/3?!?
The missed opportunities…
Yeah! And at 20:23 Pacific time.

The yankees definitely need more players in the game.

I may be wrong but how would he be any different then Robin Yount?
To paraphrase Stepbrothers... "Robin Yount is a SAINT". Right @SchnauzerFace_MLBTS ?

Just thinking out loud. The last two games had signs in the MLB stadiums that said Beat the Streak and 56. Do we get DiMaggio this year?

I like the thought a lot. Tomorrow is the big day.
It really should be a new legend to help hype the game.

You’re gonna open that can of worms I see. @SchnauzerFace_MLBTS, I fully expect you to rhapsodize about his Tom Sellek mustache and wax poetic at what an under appreciated legend he was. Perhaps even a haiku?

Do we have to wait until 3 eastern, yet again?

Couldn't agree more!

For the people who love WAR, in 98 and 99 Jeter was the not only the best shortstop in baseball but he was arguably the best player in the league.
Anyone who calls Jeter anything less than an all time great simply just has a personal issue with him, because from a numbers perspective it’s all right in front of you. Not to mention all of the intangibles, the rings, and the chicks he took down.

In 1999, Pedro was the best player in the game. He got robbed of the MVP.
In 1998, A-Rod was the best shortstop. Although, he, Jeter or Nomar should have won MVP over Juan Gonzalex. That was nonsense he won another undeserved MVP.
Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in with Jeter.

Jimmy Fallon already leaked it on tonight's show.

They tweeted the link so I’m guessing this was their plan.
I also like the connection, Jeter as the owner of the Marlins when Jazz entered the system and made his debut. Makes Jazz a bit cooler.

To all the haters
: After all, maybe SDS saved a few bucks on Jazz … to finally get Derek -

1998: Jeter was 6th in WAR. ARod was 2nd. Kevin Brown (who REALLY needs to be in The Show) lead the league.
