He's in a league of his own... and he's a lefty to boot.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-81715248842931474252016-06-03T15:49:36.011-04:002016-06-03T15:49:36.011-04:00I think he already is one of the greatest pitchers...I think he already is one of the greatest pitchers of All-Time. 5 straight years of top-3 Cy Young, and the only #3 was last year which has to easily be the best ever 3rd place Cy Young finish (and he would have won the award in the AL). And this year he looks to continue that. I don't think <br /><br />And his 2 seasons before that are actually underrated - definitely All-Star caliber - now that I look at them.<br /><br />That's 2 years of all-star caliber and (counting 2016) 6 years of top 2 or 3 in MLB dominant. <br /><br />I don't like your Dodgers - still bitter about them beating out the Reds in 1988 - but I know greatness when I see it and it's unique to be at the very top of the mountain for this long with no down year in between. Most guys who are that good for that long have at least one off year or injury (Pedro or Randy Johnson). The only guys I can think of who could come close to that level with no interruption are Clemens from 86-92 (only 7 years) and Seaver in the 70's. Since WWII at least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-63476095103750089952016-06-03T11:43:16.821-04:002016-06-03T11:43:16.821-04:00You know, I collect USA stuff so if you ever tire ...You know, I collect USA stuff so if you ever tire of that ugly, boring, non-Dodger Clayton, I'll be happy to take it. But seriously, if you are going to have a bunch of cards, even dupes, of a player, then he's the man for the job.

His prices are insane. Those Bowman Chrome autographs are going for nearly half-to-a-quarter of a grand. And that's just the base cards.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-85934766165551474292016-06-02T20:02:42.821-04:002016-06-02T20:02:42.821-04:00The 2006 Bowman Heritage cards are from a separate...The 2006 Bowman Heritage cards are from a separate 'prospects' set. 100 players got standard size cards, but 25 of those got mini versions with diff photos; Longoria the only one of note besides CK.
