Then I don't understand many of the PEAK cards, at all. Lee Smith and Charlie Hough would be two prime examples.
It sure looks like for those cards, the high points are taken from their entire career and baked together in to one "whale edition" card. A dev explained Charlie Hough's SP "TEX PEAK" card's 121 stuff by saying it came from a season he had with the Dodgers many years earlier than his Texas phase, and out of the pen.
This was the explanation given for Hough: "I would say the K rate is coming from 1973 when he put up 8.8 K/9, 5th in the league among guys with more than 50 ip."
Why that doesn't happen to other PEAK cards is a mystery.
Just another reason I would like to see PEAK cards dropped from the game.
