Unique. I mean there are a few error cards picturing the wrong player, but just mixing up two different guys is pretty awful. They got them wrong on Bowman's Best too.

In a truly bizarro world, they would have the wrong player on his plaque and nobody would catch it until it was handed to him on induction day.

If people like Beltran for the hall what about Bobby Abreu?

I always liked Abreu but didn’t think he was a HOFer. Beltran would be in no problem if not for the Astros. He’s got over 400 homers as a switch hitting center fielder and more than 2700 hits.

Personally, I think Beltran is a better candidate than Abreu, but I actually think that Abreu should get more attention than he does. In my book he belongs.

With Jones, Beltran, Lofton, Edmonds, and Abreu, there are a number of centerfielders who are worthy of induction. We observed a mini-golden era of CF's and many didn't notice!

He's managed to hang around the ballot for a few years for sure, and had a very good career!
