Great pairings

[Topnotchsy]

There have been a million cards made that feature 2 players on the same card. The Topps Stadium-Club Cosigners set that began back in the 90's was one of the first "chase cards" for me.

Often the players paired have very little to do with each other, but occasionally certain pairs come along that belong together.

In the pickup thread, [MENTION=2078]bigalbert[/MENTION] posted a Machado/Ripken dual autograph card he picked up which of course pairs the past and present of the Orioles, both players on the left side of the infield etc.

Which other pairs that include players playing today would be epic (it is ok if they've been featured on a card together already).

These are the ones I came up with:

Kershaw/Koufax - the comparisons are constant and deserved. Both dominant lefty pitchers, both class acts, and both of course pitch for the Dodgers
Machado/Ripken (mentioned above)
Trout/Harper - Both generational players whose careers have been compared from day 1. Different personalities, but each is a mega-star and can change the image of baseball for the next 15 years
Chris Sale/Pedro Martinez - Maybe a little early, but each came to Boston and struck out everyone around

Who do you have?

Bellinger/Judge

 

[jbhofmann]

Junior/Mays

We've had Junior/Mantle but I like that duo a little better.

Junior/Mays

We've had Junior/Mantle but I like that duo a little better.

For players who are no longer active, Griffey/Musial is the most interesting Griffey duo for me. Both were born in Donora, PA born on November 21.

Junior/Mays

We've had Junior/Mantle but I like that duo a little better.

The bonds/Mays passing the torch duo is fantastic, their all around game and personal connection makes it incredible

 

[bstanwood]

Put it in the waaaay to early category, devers/boggs.

How about verlander/newhouser. I don't follow the tigers that close, maybe it's been done but two pitchers who won MVPs for the same team is pretty rare

I'd fall apart if I could see a very well done 6 player rice/Lynn/Evans with Benintendi/Bradley/betts

I'll keep it as 2 pairing matchups to avoid a cluster of small autos / pics... (Yes, some have been done before) And obviously people who are alive. Some of these you could mix/match some ways and it would be cool too. IMO

Ryan/Johnson (Rangers/DBax)
Ryan/Clemens (Mets/Sox)
McGwire/Pujols (Cardinals)
McGwire/Canseco (As)
Johnson/Pedro (Expos)
Sosa/Mcgwire (Cubs/Cardinals)
ARod/Griffey (Mariners)
Bench/Fisk
Piazza/Pudge
Bonds/Aaron
Chipper/Schmidt
Reggie/Jeter (A NY Playoff Thing)
Kruk/Randy
Clark/Mcgwire (Giants/As)
Brock/Rickey
Nolan/Ventura
Eckersley/Gibson
Frank Robinson/Brooks
Maddux/Glavine
Brien Taylor/Van Popple

I'll add some more later.

Freeman/Goldschmidt

Drool....

 

[goobmcnasty]

I saw a cool one a while back.

Pedro Martinez/Randy Johnson

both in an Expos uniform

 

[Pinbreaker]

Here's a few.. I just received my Randy Johnson / John Kruk dual from Topps the other day.. (no scan yet)
Luckily I scanned this before it faded..

 

[goobmcnasty]

Tim Wakefield/Steven Wright would be cool

 

[Doerrcollector]

I'm bias, but Doerr/Pedroia is up there in my book. Same Position (which is a big factor IMO), same attitude, same consistency in both!

The Passing the Torch series is really underrated IMO for doing a good job of matching up players.

Thanks,
Jeff

Inciarte/Ichiro
Greinke/Maddux

I'd especially love this one...

Robbie Ray/Randy Johnson

 

[bstanwood]

Tim Wakefield/Steven Wright would be cool

The Hoyt Wilhelm Tim Wakefield Phil Niekro 2007 triple threads is in my top 5 favorite cards of all time... anything knuckleballers is cool to me. It's kind of a niche though, the commercial wasn't "chicks dig the knuckleball" after all.
