We need a filter for each of these in game otherwise it’s a pain
-
Both these guys needed cards so that is good.
Not using Lou Brock, who desperately needs an upgraded card, for the stolen bases captain makes me scratch my head. Hre's hoping he gets a Retro Finest maybe.
It will be interesting to see how these are implemented. I don't think that they keep the stats for every player to know which ones had 50 stolen bases. Then the Whitey "World Series" MVP seems too limited. It would boost very few cards and not be a viable theme team on it's own.

I am interested to see how they flag them. There is nothing in the current data that I look at in the APIs that they could use to automatically flag these. They would probably need to be done manually somehow.
-
I'm selfishly hoping that they keep these to things we can check in the API Files. I have worked on new Captain screens in anticipation of more captains. Here is a downloadable summary screen but the main screen in the app does not cut off the eligible players and shows them all.

It's a trap - Whitey will boost all 257 Yankee cards by 50 points in every category.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL
When there’s a drop, there’s a Yankee (although I can’t be mad at an overdue Whitey Ford). -
Well, I was going to run out a new version of my program with the Captain Deep dive screens but they have not even flagged Raleigh and Skenes as captains in the downloadable files yet and I am not sure there is any way that I can filter for the two new captains with the data provided.
Also, it sure would be nice if I could use a Lou Brock card to get the 3 stolen bases needed for the program. I mean I probably could but that 62 steal attribute and 75 speed discourages me from trying.
-
Did anyone notice that Yamamoto isn't getting the WS MVP boost?
-
Orioles Luis Aparicio will cover Orioles Steals and 50 SB players steals

P5 that mother to make him 67/80. Stealing should be automatic at that point.

LOL. He actually is a P5. I forgot to factor that in
-
Go in that mini-seasons with 60 ovrs and face that team with a position player at catcher.

I just got Whitey, made him Captain, and I have SP Yoshi showing the boost.
-
Then they fixed it because it wasn't showing up in the beginning
-
I feel like these cards are 2-3 months too late, if not more
Why wait until this late in the cycle for this? It is absolutely impossible to have a captain create a meta team unless it turns people into switch hitters, so its just for fun which is fine...but they could have potentially made fun PLUS meta teams if they came earlier.

I agree with Teak. I do love the captain cards! I just don’t understand why they came out in November and not in June or July….
