sorry jeff, chipper's rc card is the 1991 ud and one of my favorite cards growing up...it's no myth!
imo chipper's a borderline 1st ballot. if he would've stayed at ss his whole career it would've been a slam-dunk no-contest no brainer. he's played mostly 3b and corner positions are expected to put up power numbers because it's not a primo up the middle pos. some pros i see he's been clean throughout this ped era and put up strong numbers (that goes a long way to the anti arod/bonds hof voters), and he's having a banner last year going out on top which will stick in voters' mind 5 years down the line. if he was struggling and washed up no way he would've had a shot at 1st ballot.
it's crazy to think chipper prolly got a better shot at 1st ballot than bonds???
