Hmm I didn't even know about those. However, Knight is great at making CAPs, and I don;t see how his quality can be any lower than those.

Knight-

Hey I haven't downloaded these rosters so I don't know if you've done the Mariners yet. But if you haven't done the '01 M's, could I ask if you would do the 95 M's instead? For a long time Mariners fan the 95 team is far more sentimental being that it was our first year in the playoffs and it saved the team from moving to Tampa. I realize this is an awkward request and I don't wanna tell you what to do cause your such a roster saint but imo the 95 M's > 01 M's regardless of winning 116 games.

As much as I would like to see Will Clark, Matt Williams, Rick Reuschel, etc. , this game NEEDS the '62 Giants! We have a trinity of teams here with a deep historical rivalry (Giants/Dodgers/Yankees) - all originally NY teams. I think it would be coolest to play out this rivalry with teams from the same era! Mantle vs Mays! Koufax vs Marichal!! History never really gave us the chance to see the BEST Yankees team vs the BEST Giants or Dodgers team in any given year. This would be our chance to pit the '62 Giants vs the '61 Yanks or the '65 Dodgers and see who could claim bragging rights! The '89 Giants would be a good match for the '89 A's, but that is about it (in my opinion). Lets go a bit further back in time! I agree that these rosters need a bit more representation from the '60s. What do you think?

The 67 Cardinals and 68 Tigers would have gone nicely with those three.

Expect these to be included in Knight's next set - the 50's through the 70's...

Well, since the 1st set included the '75 REDS, it's only fitting we have the 1990 REDS...I hope

please please please do the 1993 phils or the 1980 phils again other than the 76 team...

As a 25 year old lifelong fan I don't even know the people on the 76 team that were any good that weren't on the 80 team....

But that 93 team would be so great to see recreated with your detail and CAPs.... I really hope you change your mind Knight.

But anyway good luck and I can't wait for the final version!

Someone asked about some Classic rosters already in the vault.

They are all-time greats, not all-time teams.

They are a mixed bag. Don't know who did them. Lots of greats there, but also a mix of current players that have no place in a classic set, like Doumit on the Pirates, for example.

The quality of the faces is poor at best. Lots of created greats look hispanic and absolutely nothing like they should.

But the stats are great. I am playing a regular season, and all the right people are near the top of the leader boards. I think Gibson, Mathewson, Hubbell and Carlton are in the top ten for ERA and WHIP.

Agreed...this would be awesome for us M's fans!
