(S11) - PT 4 - Card Collecting

best PT ever

I grew up collecting just about everything imaginable card wise, from baseball and football cards as a kid on up through Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and magic the gathering as I got older. Probably the coolest and likely somewhat more obscure cards were from a game called MLB showdown. A buddy of mine introduced me to it and shared some special edition Chipper and Andrew Jones cards from when he lived in Atlanta, and as a baseball and card game fan I was immediately hooked. Basically the offense and defense would each roll a 20 sided die, with the higher value looking up the result on their hitter or pitcher card respectively. Other than the Jones cards, a few of my favorites that I can remember right now were Richie Sexson, who had an extremely high home run rate but was almost definitely going to strikeout otherwise, and Chad Ortega, who was a terrible pitcher that could barely get anyone out but would actually become an amazing hitter compared to other pitchers when not using DH. MLB showdown and the other games I mentioned were amazing because you got both the collectible aspect and the chance to play games with them, as ootp perfect team is carrying on the legacy of as we speak.
