Is it really a problem?
-
I mean, I think its absurd that the 86 Mets only have one representative in game (funny enough the 62 Mets somehow got two cards last year) but sadly the average Diamond Dynasty player isn't interested in a history lesson. Legends cost money.
I do think they drop the ball with guys like Doerr...add him to the game but then lock his HoF card behind a Headliner pack that no one will buy or ever see in any of their rewards since headliner packs are random.
As far as Puckett, I think its fair that either SDS or MLB doesn't want him in the game.

@victoryphoenix_MLBTS the problem is I did Google and "great" is not the word I would use to describe Harry Craft. Great defender, sure. Great ballplayer, not by any measurable standard.
-
@TH3L1GHT_PSN He was my Great Uncle and is in the Reds Hall of Fame, as I said I'm biased, A reds player and family. Also I think he was the first manager of the Colt 45s/Astros
-
@victoryphoenix_MLBTS so we can be honest and stop this nonsense about him being some great player everyone should know. Seems like he had a solid rookie year, was a demon in the field, but couldn't hit major league pitching and was gone after a few seasons. So 125 contact per side with 90+ power if SDS ever get the rights.
Edit to add, the reds hall of fame seems about as exclusive as a sam's club

I would love a new card series... "Dead Ball Era" (I understand getting the rights to these players could be difficult). Make it part of a program - "Anti-Moonshot"? Have an event where every player has to have less than 80 power and lock it at Forbes.
Yes, I would seriously love that.

They did this one year. There was an event that was any pitcher and silver or lower hitters.
Back when events used to have real and fun restrictions. Like loading up your bench and stating staff with common players to get under the overall threshold.

@TH3L1GHT_PSN Everyone should know Baseball History. The Game didn't start in the year 2000.
-
I concede you have superior knowledge of your great uncle. I do not concede that this is knowledge of baseball history. Nor do I concede that anyone learning even as much as I now know about him will have increased their baseball knowledge. I get it's a personal crusade. It's also quite silly to put him in the same breath as Johnny Bench or Joe Morgan and you do him and yourself a disservice by trying to force such a ridiculous comparison.
-
It's not a personal crusade only a fact. Just as you disrespected the Reds hall of fame is a fact. I guarantee people know as much about Harry Craft as they do Rick Ferrell. I had the opportunity when I was younger to have a conversation with Buck O'Niell as he was related to a former team mate. I assure you I've had more conversations about some of the greats, with some of the greats, so if you want to argue about what your perception of a decent ball player is I could care less. You probably also like the DH and Sabermetrics.

Players like myself want to use players of our childhood and of our favorite team
