I mean, what he’s most remembered for as a Met is the worst strikeout in club history and getting fired as manager before the ink was even dry on his contract. This is just torturing those fans;...

I'd also like to see the Hall of Very Good players distributed a bit more evenly - still hoping for Dan Quisenberry & Bret Saberhagen.

Why not? There hadn't been a Rockies player in a year and a half, the Negro Leagues is woefully underrepresented in the set, and Buck Leonard is a Hall of Famer. I'm happy with the selections.
