Since my return to the hobby I've wanted to pick up a card of two of some of my favorite players throughout the years. Since it's just for my PC I wanted to pick up issues that just "look cool."
One way baseball fans recognize their favorite players is by their signature batting stance which we recognize from the centerfield camera on tv games. Last night I decided to search COMC for an Edgar Martinez card showing him from this view - ready to hit. 49 pages later I realized... there may not be any. I'm surprised I've never noticed this before and surprised that a zoom lens from out in centerfield (like television) is not a photo that seems to be used on cards.
Considering that is how we most recognize our favorite hitters they should do an entire series like that. Maybe even zoom past the pitcher so it's like the person holding the card is on the mound. Maybe it's not possible or something? Okay - somebody make it happen! :mrgreen:
