Cal Ripken Peak Card

[CrazyWR]

Hi there...I was under the impression that the PEAK cards would take the highest rating in each respective category from that person's career and use that for the peak card. However, Ripken's 98 overall card has better defense (and better power vs L) than his peak card.

How does that happen, is it intended, and why?

Most Peak cards (though not all) feature worse defense and speed-related stats than individual year cards for the same player. This is not unique to this card, which indicates that it is probably deliberate.

I believe peak cards are supposed to represent the top 3 (consecutive?) Offensive years. The peak cards are going to be the best offensive card for the player, but also generally worse defense than other cards of the same player.
