Back of the Base Card Stat Tournament Ken Griffey (1997) v Alex Rodriguez (2002) and Larry Walker (1997) v Todd Helton (2000)

 The Back of the Base Card Stat Tournament where we compare  stats (8 basic stats on the back of the cards) to find the Greatest Baseball Season Ever (when I did this back in 1976 the winner was Rogers Hornsby 1922):

Play in A

Griffey (1997) vs  Arod (2002), and Walker (1997) vs Helton (2000), winners meet

(These four players represented some of the most incredible statistical seasons recently, so I wanted Rogers Hornsby to face the best of them right off the BAT.)

Play in B

Mathews (1953) vs Snider (1954), winner  vs Schmidt (1981)
