"Not Quite Cooperstown"

[aurelius]

An American friend of mine and I were talking about those special series of baseball cards like "future stars" and "MVP" series that used to be included in regular packs. Well, we came up with a few of our own.

Not Quite Cooperstown

Could Have Been Great

Past Their Prime

plantier

Bonilla
Kerry Wood???

 

[runner]

i still think kerry wood could be great. he IS only 25 and hasn't lost his stuff. between him and mark prior the cubs actually have the potential to do some damage in the next few years.

they'll screw it up, though.

I´ll light the fire:
Sammy Sosa
