I suggest 'lesser known legend' might be a contradiction in terms contextually?

The cards are designed for balance/power creep purposes that have to do with the metagame rather than a replica of the actual player’s dominance. Cy Young is an early cycle card and Eppa is a later cycle card to incentivize completing the new mission sets that get released.

That's quite correct, of course, but your points combined point to one of my biggest disappointment with the game - the cards themselves. They are just numbers with no connection to the real people which would at least give each card some inherent interest beyond that. I accept, reluctantly, that the image rights problem that prevents using photos cannot be resolved, but how about cartoons? Or a 'back side' giving brief biographical and career details? 'Lesser known legends' are all fine and dandy, but at least let me know a little about them!
