BACK OF THE BASEBALL CARD STAT TOURNAMENT Duke Snider (1954) vs.Willie McCovey (1969)

 





Until about 1980 there were 8 basic stats on the back of baseball cards.  In 1976 I created a tournament among the TSN all-time all-stars – I picked what years I thought were the best years for Ruth(1927) Williams (1941) Cobb (1911) etc… and had them compete. I remember who won - Rogers Hornsby 1922 -I decided to recreate the tournament and expand it to see if Rogers Hornsby 1922 season will still win.
