Top card looks like Tom Glavine. Bottom card looks like John Smoltz

Quick one barebeaverlover. The 1990 Donruss cards are one of the highest print runs ever. There were multiple error cards but the volume holds a complete set down to $10 and the pair of Smoltz and Glavine can be gotten for a buck.

Next question. 15 pitchers have appeared in over 1000 games. Only 3 are in the Hall of Fame. Name them.

Bonus Question: Name the other 12.

I'm thinking relievers here. Let's see...Gossage, Eckersley. Rivera isn't in the HOF yet, he must have pitched in 1000 games. Mike Timlin was around a long time. Trevor Hoffman, Jesse Orosco was around forever. How am I doing so far?

Way off as you are right on RP pitching 1000 games.

Add Rollie Fingers and eliminated one.

 

[John_8581]

Dennis Eckersley was mainly a starter in the early part of his career. Other relief pitchers appearing in over a thousand games? Lee Smith and John Franco.

Dan Plesac?

 

[barebeaverlover]

Dan Plesac?

Good one!! Plesac should be there. How about Mike Stanton?

 

[mamaretti33]

Tigers reliever Todd Jones?

 

[John_8581]

Dan Plesac?

Yes, both Plesac and Stanton had very long careers.

I'm thinking Jose Mesa and Roberto Hernandez because they also played an awfully long time mainly with a lot of different teams...

Only 1 left. Mostly a set up guy although he did have a few closer seasons.

 

[feller469]

Cy Young had over 800 wins, gonna throw him into the mix
