I am fairly certain that Goreds picked Ernie Lombardi as one of his three players to add for making the Barnstormers finals. I hate for us to waste voting for him in this.

Thanks for the info. I will get confirmation on that before submitting the list to Strat. The spot won't be wasted, as it will go to the next man up.

Baseball reference doesn't show him as being EVEN.

The SOM card viewer definitely has an even card for him in 1933.

I've never seen Baseball Reference been wrong before...

I'm sure it's not wrong, but Baseball-Reference isn't Strat either. Sometimes stats dont translate well to Strat, and sometimes Strat apparently doesnt take real life splits into account when creating a card, especially cards that arent Super-Advanced.

By the way, the link for Rader’s 1971 card from the 70s Mystery Set is nothing like Strat’s 1971 Rader card. I don’t know why they have a different 9L card representing 1971 in Mystery Set and a very different 4L 1971 Rader card on the Strat Card Reader.
My point, Mystery Card representations may not be an accurate barometer of what you may get.
Very interesting. I think the mystery card better reflects his actual splits for 1971.
.364/.412/.562 vs LHP
.205/.267/.318 vs RHP
I based my nomination of Rader on his Mystery Card. Interesting that the Strat card on offer is so different. Still, it should be a very useable platoon card vs LHP, assuming the pricing is reasonable.

Is there another player where this has happened?

I'm sure there are plenty of Strat cards that don't quite match up to their real life splits, especially cards from first half of 20th century.
I can't answer why some Strat splits are different than Baseball-Ref. We are voting on Strat cards, so I guess all that matters in this exercise is, what do the cards say?

No one had an answer for this.
What's the deal with Walter French?

He hit only 1 homerun but is N and has HR chances on both sides of his card. (He only hit 2 in his career.)
