Anyone know if Addie Joss is in the game?

See title. Found the guy in the "all-time greatest" ootp default league. Was excited to find a HOF player from Wisconsin. Hoping to get him on my perfect team once the Beta ends if possible.

Haven't seen him on the auction block yet, but I haven't seen Babe Ruth either and he's apparently on multiple teams somewhere based on reports. I'm curious about this too.

He's not

The pre 1920 pitchers are real pains in the neck to get rated right in a league with players from other eras. The game-generated ratings won't work right.

Far easier to leave most of them out for now, other than the couple that just have to be in like Cy Young and Christy Mathewson.

I honestly don't know how any pitchers' fastballs are rated prior to the invention of radar guns.

Bummer.

I'd argue that being the MLB career leader in WHIP is worth something! ;-). But I suppose if you add 1 more in then that suddenly opens the door for a bunch of other worthy options you'd need to add.

Yeah, I won't be selling that card and I'll bet I won't pull another diamond from a standard pack after the beta is over.

Dang Lukas. No wonder it was impossible for me to find some.
