My biggest gripe would actually be the same player having multiple 99s. Does Judge really need multiple? I love Pete Alonso, but does he need two 95s?
Very strongly disagree
Players should get cards when the situation warrants it.
Also players with strong careers with multiple teams should get 2 99s.They had little choice with Alonso. In an absolutely disgraceful decision by mlb he was the lone all star for the mets. He had to get the TA card. They gave every HR derby participant a card. No reason to not give a HR derby card because someone would complain on a forum. No deserving player lost out on a card.
Where they screwed up though was the NLCS. Sure, Lindor deserved an NLDS card. But it shouldnt have been at the expense of Diaz and marte. If the baseball gods are dictating duplicate 99s, then you make an extra card for a different player.
Just like lindor should get a finest, but they should also then give the team a +1 to finest and give a butto/Iglesias/Peterson card as well. It shouldnt be either/or incases like that.
This is where I am saying there should be a retro and current option in the affinity path. I don’t have a problem with 99s of different teams. I do, however, when judge is two 99s for the same team. Same with Austin Riley and others.
