It's McGwire.

Big Mac. The Chase for HR in a season.

Meh.

McGwire is too one dimensional for this kind of collection reward. Outside of power, what else does he have to offer? Ruth would have more, or at the very least equal power, but Ruth would have max contact, vision, etc. And his speed, defense, etc. would be better than Mac’s too.

Big Mac would have been a perfect home run derby kind of collection reward because it was solely about power. He won the ‘92 derby and that collection would’ve been more suited to be his release.

You might feel different if the collection also includes Sosa and Maris.....I'll be pretty excited if that the case. With the ESPN Documentary "Long Gone Summer" about this chase 2 months ago, it makes sense. Also, pairing Mantle with Maris, and their historic chase of the Babe back in 1961. What if.....it was ALL of them? Including the Babe??? Hmmm.....

P.S. If the Babe were to be in it too, perhaps it would be an award card from his 1927 Season, so that they could still release his Sig Later.....so you'd be "chasing" Babe at 60, Maris at 61, Sosa at 66 and McGwire at 70. Heck, if they did this, they could do a Collect ALL to get Reggie Stocker! LOL!!!!!
