UPDATE 06/24 Shadow Tuesday!!

[Ben Vance]

Hey, Everyone!

Today is Shadow Tuesday! The Red Sox did a lot of guessing at the plate last night, thanks to Dan Haren:D. Let’s see you guess who this is at the plate, from an upcoming MLB Series!

That’s all for today! Let’s go to Joey “Hi, where do you live?” Ferstl for his update…

1st

[bravesfan]

Midwest eh.

[quiggle]

yes, Wade Boggs!! :D

[ryan_G]

Man, did Haren look awesome last night. Probably the best guy picked up in a trade in the off season. Man I wish we had a Haren on this team.

[AS251BR]

Maybe?

[Donnellk13]

yes, Wade Boggs!! :D

but it will probably be in a Sox uniform

[quiggle]

but it will probably be in a Sox uniform

noooooooo! don't say that!! I need a Yankees Boggs for my 1996 World Series collection

[Donnellk13]

Maybe?

George Brett..........

[AS251BR]

Yeah, after seeing your post and looking it up, it's Boggs. I was just about to post that same pic. :D But now I'm disappointed that it's Boggs and not Musial. :(

[SeattleMariners51445]

Felix Hernandez!

[Donnellk13]

George Brett..........

looking it pics Brett holds his hands higher but it does make sense

[MarkG]

??

[Spawnomite]

Wade

[Hardcore Legend]

It's George Brett.

[SeattleMariners51445]

Better Brett than another Red Sox or Yankees player. Royals could use some more figures but they don't really have anybody to be excited about.

[Hardcore Legend]

[SeattleMariners51445]

^^^Good point^^^

[Hardcore Legend]

By the way, don't tease me with those Musial posts.

[AS251BR]

It's George Brett.

I hope so, Wade Boggs does absolutely nothing for me and I've never said that about a CC figure. Unless it was in the "classic" Devil Rays uniform then I'd be all for it. :D

[AS251BR]

By the way, don't tease me with those Musial posts.

Sorry, it was wishful thinking. I didn't look at it close enough, just the stance looked like something from the era.

[UFCFan]

Sweet. I've been wanting Brett for a while. I really hope they do him in the baby blue uni (w/ "Royals" lettering, not "Kansas City"), but it will probably be in the whites.

Mark has said that Todd likes putting the players in 'colored' uniforms if at all possible, unless they are matching a historic moment.

This also means we are getting 2 Royals players in the next Cooperstown line. Crazy.

[AS251BR]

Here's another photo.

Wow, you're right. I totally forgot about Bo. You would think with both deals in place, they would just sit on one of them and wait for the next series. I'm thinking maybe Brett was the guy they had to pull from Coops 5, and that is why there are 2 Royals. You're also right about Todd liking more colorful unis whenever possible, but now considering there are 2 Royals, I am sure one of them will be in the all whites. I hope it's Bo.

[Hardcore Legend]

Bo would look very sharp in the all-white unis. Brett needs to be in the blue unis with grime and dirt all over him.

I also would be more inclined to believe Bo was the guy pulled, because his contract would have been in the works for the NFL lines.

Doesn't it seem odd that when they announce the Cooperstown line in the next 3 weeks, they'll already have the sculpts done?

[UFCFan]

Yeah, it is a bit odd. I guess they wanted to wait to announce it with one or two of next year's series all around the all star break.

Another thing that's odd to me is that there was no "Call Your Shot" poll for next year's 3 MLB series, unless I am just not remembering it.

[Hardcore Legend]

The last CYS I remember was the Fingers vs. McCovey.

The funny thing? If Fingers had come into the league 1 year earlier, his insertion into this series would give us 3 Kansas City playes (Fingers - Athletics, Bo/Brett - Royals.)

Maybe they just used mine instead. :D

[UFCFan]

Gets my vote. Can't go wrong with Griffey, Hanley Ramirez, and Jimmy Rollins. :D

[ptrac30]

GOTTA LOVE BRETT!!!

[SDhalcon]

GOTTA LOVE BRETT!!!

I don't ever buy any of the Cooperstown figs, but I will most likely buy this one. I was a huge Brett fan growing up. Just loved how he played the game.

Now TMP, get on the ball and make a Tony Gwynn already!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:

Not bad

[AS251BR]

I think it's Brett but Midwest could still be Boggs since that's where he's from.

[UFCFan]

It's Brett. The shadow fits his stance to a T, especially the pic you posted of his statue. Boggs was more upright in his stance and he ****ed his back elbow up more.

[AS251BR]

Gets my vote. Can't go wrong with Griffey, Hanley Ramirez, and Jimmy Rollins. :D

I meant the poll I did of the most requested MLB players. ;)

[quiggle]

Brett, Boggs really doesn't matter since both players we will probably get as SPs

if not Boggs now, can we lobby now for a Yankees version then when it's time :p

[UFCFan]

Oh...that too. Oops.

Thats no doubt George Brett and it needs lots of pinetar:)

[EDBSIP]

intitial thought was Boggs, but then I saw the Brett pics, and it could be him

[JGrant15]

Yeah gotta be Brett.

[quiggle]

intitial thought was Boggs, but then I saw the Brett pics, and it could be him

blame that idiot who first mentioned that here and threw everyone off :rolleyes:

[Ben Vance]

Idiot? Why?

[Hardcore Legend]

yes, Wade Boggs!! :D

I think this is what he meant.

I sure hope it isn't Wade Boggs.

[Ben Vance]

I know, I was just trying to keep the guesses flowing;)

[UFCFan]

Not Boggs.

[No1CeltsFan]

Id go absolutely NUTS for a Boggs... OMG I got goosebumps!

[Hulkster]

I love when they do figures in their batting stances! sometimes the batting stance is the most identifiable characteristic of a player. I wish they'd do this more!

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

Midwest eh.

kansas city = midwest= BRETT!!!!!!!!!

[Donnellk13]

Midwest would equal Brett, not Boggs

Boggs is from the midwest, the midwest doesnt need to mean what area the team is from

[UFCFan]

I think that is overthinking it personally, but whatever. The image titles are meant to give it away, but also to throw us off at the same time. Just by looking at the stance in the shadow, you can tell it is Brett. Boggs' stance was fairly similar at some points in his career, but it was never quite like that.

[Hardcore Legend]

And if they made a Boggs, why wouldn't they make it in a fielding pose?

[Flenker]

as soon as I saw that shadow, George Brett popped into my head. I can't wait!!!

[julio1867]

KIRBY PUCKETT!! Oh, that's right he'll never get made. It's probably a Boggs with Brett variant :)

[DaleMURPHYwouldBEaNICEfig]

when was the Bo figure anounced? hopefully it will be the "running on the wall" pose.

[SDhalcon]

Couldn't possibly be that one. A piece of wall might take up too much room in their gigantic new packaging :rolleyes:.

Yea I know it Brett but i was just saying ya know

[Donnellk13]

I wouldnt think so was only under .300 twice. I knew him more of a hitter than a fielder but who knows

[AS251BR]

They haven't announced any of them yet. They will though, some time around the All-Star game. But the shadow last week looked a lot like Jackson and the name was doubledip.
