Also, I went from memory, so there may be a few omissions. Also, I'm too lazy to organize it more clearly.

As I said, I'm not sure it's complete(about 60-70 players), and I see I messed the chronology, but I'm not going back to put the 80's up further. It's a good start though. To be honest, I left out the '20's because I stopped following baseball around that time, so there's still alot more.

I already got several of these guys. Still have a few players to replace, but the team's coming along nicely. Just waiting for more points to come in before I add anyone else, especially since prices are so bad right now due to the imminent arrival of collections.

I ran with the Lance Johnson card for a little bit in Bronze. Could not for the life of me get him to hit over .260. Great contact, speed, & defense, but a terrible eye brings the card down to borderline useless levels.

The 80 Ashburn would be excellent and would allow me to move Kevin McReynolds to left field. The 70 Rickey Henderson, however, would not be a good fit. Strikes out way too much unless I just have him bunt every time he's at the plate. Plus, his fielding would not be up to par and that's a shame.

As for the Patriots...not generating points. Not worth checking in on until I can sell off my 83 Frank Thomas to improve the pitching. He hasn't done the job asked of him, so he has to go.
