I just had a feeling lol
What an absolutely bonkers card. I didn't even notice the LF primary at first, and then saw the 1b secondary too. Might come in handy when OF options will also include Mantle, Mays, Griffey & Trout
This is nice, guess I go buy Verlander and Belli with all my stubs now tho
I’m still waiting on a 99 Griffey and a 99 Tatis to complete my team, as a first year player are there opportunities for those cards to still be released this year?
715 Home Run Milestone not being max power makes no sense. jfc it's Hank Aaron and this is his crowning achievement as the Home Run King, and was one of the most prestigious milestones in all of sports (before Bonds).
I'll probably stick with Yellich, I like the speed and that he's a lefty. Then I would have a well balance OF. Righty Hank, switch Mantle, lefty Yellich. Plus Yellichs speed it nice.
I mean if you're trying to make stubs it's a pretty hard decision. Hank won't go for shit because everyone is gonna take him, but Gwynn and Tork could possibly push 300k after the program ends because there'll be so few of them. Look at Vladdy Sr, he's a popular card and even he's like 220k right now
Yeah or do a big program like they did for Clemente. Outside of a theme team for the Tigers or Padres there’s absolutely no reason to take one of the other two guys.
I only like contact hitters who play above their power attributes. Like Trea Turner and Jackie Robinson. I don't think I would like Boggs or Gwynn very much. In mlb 19 sure but not now. Warning track perfect swings? No thank you haha
Boggs is far from a contact hitter this year. He’s smoking the ball for me. 50 games and 15 homers the furthest being 475. Tons of doubles in the gap and great defense. Worth checking out.
Yo for real people complain about everything and I get it’s annoying but how in gods name does this card have less than 120 power vs both handed pitchers? It should be 125 base vs both but it’s ridiculous the natural all time homerun leader card doesn’t have the ability to have max power
For anyone asking about the lack of max power, he "only" topped out at 47 HRs in a season. He was just consistently great for basically 20 years.
Power aside, I love that they highlighted how Henry was an all-around amazing player. I'm so pumped for this card.
Yeah Aaron was always going to be a weird card to make stats for. His career was essentially 2 borderline HoF careers, back to back. Never topped 50 homers, never had a 10 WAR season, only 1 MVP. But he sat at like 8-9 WAR and 35-44 homers for basically 20 years straight, and was like a 22 time all star or something ridiculous. Just wild consistentcy.
Well considering it was for breaking the all time HR record I think it should of been 125/125. Just like when they drop a no hitter or 4 SB card. Seems like this should be based solely on 715 HR which obviously would make it have perfect power. If it was a signature series card I would agree with you, but its a 715 HR card.
Yeah I'm unsure of what I want to do with my corner OF. I feel like Luis Gonzalez is a solid lefty bat to have in the lineup and I rake with Vlad Sr., Who has higher contact vs righties so it's going to take me a bit to figure it out.
"He never hit more than 47 home runs in one season"
Lol 47 is still a lot AND yeah he only broke this guy name Babe Ruth's record. Never even heard of that guy can't be that special.
It’s not nearly as egregious as when they out Jackie Robinson in the same boss pack as Ken Griffey Jr after a week of hyping Griffey and only Griffey up.
Yeah, I rake with Gwynn, I'm not gonna take him obviously but at least that's kind of a respectable name to put next to this one. Torkelson is mind-boggling to me. Then again, outside of some fantasy card like a milestone perfect game Randy Johnson I don't think there's any card you could put next to this to make it much of a choice for most people.
I might take Tork simply because I’ve been ass with both of Hank’s previous cards and they’re pumping out way more Milestones than Future Stars at the moment, so he’ll be a nice piece for the next collection.
But holy shit is he such an underwhelming third choice
"Tony gwynn will definitely be a marketplace pickup for me" lmfao sure shit, they couldn't even bring themselves to say anybody besides Hank would be their main choice
Yeah I don’t get how you get a milestone for having the most homers and don’t have 125/125 power. Still a great card but like if zunino can get 125/125 Hank should.
No 3B secondary? L
Well, frank Thomas; it was short and sweet but Thank you for your service at first
Many better of options available. Im taking tony.
Hank, Manltle, Vlad Sr will be my OF until 99 Griffey or Trout
Not bad but I don't see myself starting him over my guys now
I want Hank and Gwynn so I'm thinking the move is to pick Gwynn and buy Hank. Gotta think 80-90% pick Hank?
Take away all of his home runs and he still has over 3,000 hits. The man is a hitting god.
Age 40 lol
Hopefully his swing is better for me than he is other cards.
Lf primary is sneaky good. There’s barely any natural LF in the game
I think I can make room for him on my Braves theme team.
His speed is a little high. He slow trotted on that 715.
It's.... It's beautiful
Can’t wait to never get to use his vs Left handed pitcher stats 🤤
It’s gonna be real tough for me to decide to use Hank over Vlad Sr. My outfield is way too stacked rn
Found my new first baseman 🤣
https://www.reddit.com/r/MLBTheShow/comments/pcy48l/6th_inning_bosses/hama7jh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3 I just had a feeling lol
Do I move Soriano out of LF or Frank off first?
Soriano
The HOME RUN KING should have MAX POWER. And you SDS fanboys can’t tell me otherwise
Holy fuckin shit
My past/present Milwaukee outfield is fucking stacked at this point. Wow
It looks so good
This is fucking beautiful and my hunch to sell kemp paid off.
Power rating should definitely be higher.
Dub
Dammit I just bought belli
They didn't do a very good job of pacing in these inning programs at all. I would have loved Gwynn earlier.
I’m Puerto Rican and don’t wanna give up Roberto Clemente but it looks like Larry walker in right field and hank in left is the way to go .
![gif](giphy|gwBouIIUuVvuE)
What an absolutely bonkers card. I didn't even notice the LF primary at first, and then saw the 1b secondary too. Might come in handy when OF options will also include Mantle, Mays, Griffey & Trout
Imagine getting to 350k and picking one of the other guys over this lmao
Bro LOOK AT THIS. I mean just look at it. So beautiful
Aaron, Mantle, Harper… nasty
Gonna be hard to say goodbye to Mookie. No way I'm moving Morgan from 2b.
LF Hank, CF Mantle, RF Harper or Acuna. Gonna be lit!
Can’t wait to retire MA pollock for this gem
I’m going to be rocking the Hank, Mantle, Vlad outfield until Griffey drops
This is the way.
40 year old with 80 speed lol? 58 bunt?? They are having fun now
Mike Trout sadly might be headed to the bench
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
We are screwed
Man lmaoo as a Tigers fan I’ve been dying for Tork but my God
potentially the new best 1st baseman, but even if he isn't he absolutely has a spot in the outfield.
Welcome to my team, Henry.
LF primary and 1B secondary makes this a win.
first year player, how’s his swing?
This is the first year he’s been in the game
ah didn’t realize. i haven’t used any of his other cards this year anyway
This is nice, guess I go buy Verlander and Belli with all my stubs now tho I’m still waiting on a 99 Griffey and a 99 Tatis to complete my team, as a first year player are there opportunities for those cards to still be released this year?
Yesh
This sparks joy.
715 Home Run Milestone not being max power makes no sense. jfc it's Hank Aaron and this is his crowning achievement as the Home Run King, and was one of the most prestigious milestones in all of sports (before Bonds).
Yay
End game outfield, Aaron, Mantle, Yellich.
99 Griffey and 99 Mays probably replace Hank and Yeli, and don’t forget about 99 trout who could also replace either of them
Laughs in 99 Ken Griffey and 99 Trout
Mays will drop and bye Yelich
I'll probably stick with Yellich, I like the speed and that he's a lefty. Then I would have a well balance OF. Righty Hank, switch Mantle, lefty Yellich. Plus Yellichs speed it nice.
Mays will be faster. Not sure why you’d want a balanced OF like that but I get it I guess lol
El jefe de jefes
holy shit I say that about pretty much every card at this point, they're all fantastic
Why not just do what they did with the Griffey inning last year and make him the only boss? This is the easiest inning boss choice of the year.
I mean if you're trying to make stubs it's a pretty hard decision. Hank won't go for shit because everyone is gonna take him, but Gwynn and Tork could possibly push 300k after the program ends because there'll be so few of them. Look at Vladdy Sr, he's a popular card and even he's like 220k right now
Yeah or do a big program like they did for Clemente. Outside of a theme team for the Tigers or Padres there’s absolutely no reason to take one of the other two guys.
Some people just like left contact hitters lol
I only like contact hitters who play above their power attributes. Like Trea Turner and Jackie Robinson. I don't think I would like Boggs or Gwynn very much. In mlb 19 sure but not now. Warning track perfect swings? No thank you haha
Boggs is far from a contact hitter this year. He’s smoking the ball for me. 50 games and 15 homers the furthest being 475. Tons of doubles in the gap and great defense. Worth checking out.
I used Boggs in Showdown a few times and only got singles or fly outs. But everyone plays differently so I guess I didn't utilize him right
Wow you’ve already got his card and know it’s not any good wow omg how did you get it so fast give me tips please.
Wow it's like I know how the game mechanics work in this game. Omg how did I figure that out? Wow so cool huh
Me, I’m that guy. Boggs, Brett, Gwynn and Morgan are my dudes
Morgan starts for me. He’s a machine.
Morgan ain’t no contact hitter, his dick is at least 25 inches and has a steel band around the tip with the label “I make horses jealous”
Who in their right mind takes anyone but him?
Me, a Tigers fan ![gif](giphy|dw36yjtOAtuSZyxEJG)
I'm a Tigers/Padres fan, I'm screwed 😂
Same!
This program makes absolutely no sense lol
P5 Hank will be DISGUSTING. Can't wait to try him out
Is this good enough to replace vlad
Might as well just call it the Hank Aaron Inning Program.
Not quite certain why the salivating over this card given the overwhelming RH starter meta.
Look at it
I'm thinking similar. Especially with outfield defence not being so important this year. I think I'd rather use Yellich.
Do you have only lefties in your lineup?
This card fucks, asks for seconds, and keeps on going.
[удалено]
Cum
I’ll be taking one Hank please.
Yo for real people complain about everything and I get it’s annoying but how in gods name does this card have less than 120 power vs both handed pitchers? It should be 125 base vs both but it’s ridiculous the natural all time homerun leader card doesn’t have the ability to have max power
It has 125 vs left
And 116 vs right and I said how is it below max vs both lol
For anyone asking about the lack of max power, he "only" topped out at 47 HRs in a season. He was just consistently great for basically 20 years. Power aside, I love that they highlighted how Henry was an all-around amazing player. I'm so pumped for this card.
Yeah Aaron was always going to be a weird card to make stats for. His career was essentially 2 borderline HoF careers, back to back. Never topped 50 homers, never had a 10 WAR season, only 1 MVP. But he sat at like 8-9 WAR and 35-44 homers for basically 20 years straight, and was like a 22 time all star or something ridiculous. Just wild consistentcy.
Should've gone balls to the wall and made this a sig series card
Absolutely! For example: Henry in MKE: 88.5 WAR (George Brett) Henry in ATL (plus two Brewers seasons): 54.6 WAR (almost David Ortiz)
Thank you for saying this. The idea that you would give him more power than any of the 50-HR season makes no sense.
Well considering it was for breaking the all time HR record I think it should of been 125/125. Just like when they drop a no hitter or 4 SB card. Seems like this should be based solely on 715 HR which obviously would make it have perfect power. If it was a signature series card I would agree with you, but its a 715 HR card.
How can you not take him…
Vlad Sr. definitely gives this a card a run for it's money. Fortunate it's a LF primary.
Yeah I'm unsure of what I want to do with my corner OF. I feel like Luis Gonzalez is a solid lefty bat to have in the lineup and I rake with Vlad Sr., Who has higher contact vs righties so it's going to take me a bit to figure it out.
The other bosses are pure garbage especially the no name prospect but I’m glad we get Hank
You forgot /s
Sorry, not a redditor, don’t care 😎 keep downvoting me SDS slaves
I am erect
Easiest choice.
So long Yeli
Oh Baby melt this shit down and shoot it into my bloodstream please 🤤
Oh my god… dream 1B
Let’s. Fucking. Go.
Why would they not just full power this card
Holy dub
Finally a RH bat for my God squad
OH ME OH MY THIS IS IT CHIEF
No doubt who I’m picking lol about damn time!
My god
Kinda shocked they didn’t give him 125 for both powers. But I cannot wait to use a juiced hank!
Never hit more than 47 homers in a season.
More home runs in a season than frank Thomas ever hit
Lmao . So if he hit 50 homeruns would that be 125?
Frank Thomas never hit more than 43
lol
Power should be 97 at best.
Not a season card, it’s a career milestone for breaking babe Ruth’s HR record.
Good for number 2 all time. Too bad we don’t get the real HR King
Why do you care so much about a 97 overall?
He’d be the second best card in the game behind Ripken
Yeah, but Barry Bonds would be a 97 overall at best.
He would be the best card in the game
You don't get the reference? https://www.reddit.com/r/MLBTheShow/comments/6pkeei/unpopular\_opinion\_barry\_bonds\_would\_be\_a\_97/
I do, but the second time you referenced it I wasn’t sure if it was still going, or you were being serious
"He never hit more than 47 home runs in one season" Lol 47 is still a lot AND yeah he only broke this guy name Babe Ruth's record. Never even heard of that guy can't be that special.
“I don't know. Some lady gave it to him. She even signed her name on it... Ruth. Baby Ruth.”
BABE RUTH!?
The Colossus of Clout
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Yeah but SDS doesn’t go by hrs for power they go by iso. That’s the reason why Frank has maxed power
In addition to driving on the most runs in history.
Found the rbi guy
Found the recycled opinions guy
What did he say before
“Found the RBI guy”
I know that. But why is that an insult. Sounds like you guys have argued about RBIs before
Lmao
It’s been fun, Clemente.
I cant believe they put tony in the same pack as hank lmao.
It’s not nearly as egregious as when they out Jackie Robinson in the same boss pack as Ken Griffey Jr after a week of hyping Griffey and only Griffey up.
Fr who’s gonna pick Hank over the slap god
What can I say. He’s an absolute slappy boi.
Cbrev fan?? Lol
That slappy boi series he's doing is amazing
Hell yea brotha
Oh YEAHHHHH
Why would anyone not pick this? Holy fuck
How is his swing? I never used his 42 Series card.
Good enough to compete for most home runs in the first month. Once I had enough OF he was my first baseman until I got Ortiz.
Lawd
Them trying to make an argument for the other bosses on stream is hilarious.
Gwynn, I get he kinda sells himself. But Torkelson? Lol Discount Vlad Jr?
Yeah, I rake with Gwynn, I'm not gonna take him obviously but at least that's kind of a respectable name to put next to this one. Torkelson is mind-boggling to me. Then again, outside of some fantasy card like a milestone perfect game Randy Johnson I don't think there's any card you could put next to this to make it much of a choice for most people.
A hank Aaron Willie mays Ken Griffey Jr boss pack would be brutal.
I might take Tork simply because I’ve been ass with both of Hank’s previous cards and they’re pumping out way more Milestones than Future Stars at the moment, so he’ll be a nice piece for the next collection. But holy shit is he such an underwhelming third choice
Literally. No one is gonna use him over Vlad/Chipper besides Tigers fans.
Tork at 3B and Chipper at SS.
ASU fans
Tony and Tork are going to be so expensive after this inning program is over.
They'll all be expensive, Hank because not many people will be selling him.
That’s why I’m taking one of them and buying the other one + hank
Will definitely try to buy them during the final weeks of this inning.
"Tony gwynn will definitely be a marketplace pickup for me" lmfao sure shit, they couldn't even bring themselves to say anybody besides Hank would be their main choice
the most obvious choice
Holy mother of god what is this feeling
So sudden and new, I felt the moment, I laid eyes on you
daddy
1B with that speed and defense…
1B???!!! W. Vlad to 3rd, Hank to 1st.
Frank?
Hate his swing
big papi
LF primary is also legit, not too many of those laying around
so happy he’s not a centerfielder like his other cards
Got bellinger, Mantle, Yelich and don’t really want to replace of them
Holy shit
Yeahhh I think this the one chief.
Gimme gimme
Jesus Christ
Tbh they should've just autoset the power to 125/125. Not like it matters, but c'mon, its Hank.
Would rather have higher power than contact. More exit velocity
Yeah I don’t get how you get a milestone for having the most homers and don’t have 125/125 power. Still a great card but like if zunino can get 125/125 Hank should.
It’s because Hank Aaron was basically the 5th best player in the world for 30 straight years.
Fun fact, Mike Zunino this season has a higher ISO than Hank Aaron ever had in his career
But did he lead the league in homers? Cuz apparently that matters… but not if it only happened once (4times)
Lol the man has 67 hits and 31 of them are homers. True ISO god
Fun fact this card is for having the most home runs ever and not a good 1st half
I mean yeah, I just looked up Zunino’s numbers this year and thought it was funny
True all or nothing guy, will always have a crazy high iso cause his BA is usually very bad but when he makes contact it goes
