Of course, I am getting old, so it's probable I missed him as I was peaking through the cards.

I was dismayed, though, to see right there on top - 100 Johnny Vander Meer. What is the love affair that OOTP has with this guy? His career was two great games in a row. He couldn't tie Johnny Sain's cleats...or Johnny Antonelli's...or even John Lackey's. I wouldn't embarrass John Smoltz by comparing him at all. It really strains credulity to see that card and I think reflects poorly on the historical ratings credibility. It's disappointing because I was appreciating the deflation I thought I was seeing this year.
