Lightbulb New historical card category - Unsung Heros! Let's collect them!

OK folks, there was a great suggestion that we add historical cards for players who are not quite as great ratings-wise and who would fit in the 40-60 / 100 range (usually historical cards have a card value of 60+).

Let's call that category "Unsung Heros" and collect the players that would fit in there in the following format:

Lahman player ID, Year, Real name, Position

Let's try to have a 50/50 Hitter/Pitcher split, and maybe focus on players who did something great in the playoffs or had one single great game / performance during the season or some other great feat, but were not that good / well known otherwise.

For example, I was a fan of the Braves in the mid/late 90's and for me a couple of examples would be:

lemkema01,1996, Mark Lemke, 2B
blausje01,1995, Jeff Blauser, SS

If you do not know what the Lahman ID of a player is, simply look him up on baseball-reference.com and check the web address of the player page, for example:
https://www.baseball-reference.com/p...lausje01.shtml
-> The text prior to the ".html" and after the last "/" is the Lahman ID of the player.

Fire away!

Cheers,
Markus
