2024 Hall of Fame
There was a huge injustice in the 2024 Hall of Fame election. An unbelievable oversight happened. A player who was far more deserving of votes got robbed. Sheffield? Wagner? Utley? No. I'm talking about the Showdown legend himself, Bartolo Colon!
Anyway, Cooperstown did get to add 4 new plaques to the hallowed halls in 2024. And while they're not as beloved as Big Sexy was, there were pretty damn notable in their own right. Funny thing I noticed was I tried making some cards in the 2001 Showdown format, but that does something that the other variations don't do and allow a team logo on the card. For Helton and Mauer, that isn't such a problem, but I prefer when I make Hall of Fame cards that the only logo is the Cooperstown Collection logo, so the 2000 format (the best one anyway) will be the norm for modern era players.
