That’s 50 legends FYI
-
Wainwright is not getting a pitcher card. My guess is that they only had his rights in the context of HRD X and cannot make other cards for him.
-
Andrew Miller doesn’t have a 99, right?
I would like Brian Roberto too. -
I question this list the closer I look at it. For one it is missing at least a couple names like Lou Brock, Orlando Cepeda and Ryan Ludwick. It also has Yasmani Grandal, who technically is not a legend yet since he has a live series card in the FA pool (if you include him then you need to also include players Matt Carpenter, Lance Lynn, and others who did not land with a team this past season and retired with only a FA card)
I would like to see a retirement program as there are a handful of guys who officially retired this year and only have live series FA cards. Since some of them may never be in the game again it would be nice to see them get a final good card.
Here is my list of Legends (as defined in the game) without 99s. My guess is that some of the Negro League guys get removed from this list on Friday when they announce the Negro League Collection. I could see them adding in some content to give some of them 99s and make it so there is more to the collection than just turning in your existing cards.
