RandyMarsh Posted Tuesday at 12:09 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:09 AM Maybe it's not as impressive or rare as I think but on the surface I think it's pretty impressive to think that there are still 6 guys in the MLB from our team 11 seasons ago, especially considering IIRC we were considered "old" with a bad farm system and not alot of quality young players at that time. Also I legit have no recollection of Joe Matinply at all so the fact that 9 years later he is still in the league is really crazy to me. Quote
theroundsquare Posted Tuesday at 01:48 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:48 PM I thought Mantiply was the answer to what Tiger never had a card that was on the forum before but apparently it wasn't even close Quote
ben9753 Posted Tuesday at 06:40 PM Posted Tuesday at 06:40 PM Would not have guessed Jose Iglesias is still playing Quote
