Scott Fennessy just got the new 1984 APBA Baseball set and passed this Miguel Dilone card from the Expos along.
With two 14*s and twelve 6*s to go with his two first column 11s, Dilone’s card is weird enough. But check out the result at 13, though.
He has a 13-146*.
Presumably, that’s an typographic error and should be 13-14-6*. That does beg the question “Does the 14 have an asterisk as well?”
Kudos to Scott, by the way, for using a “Keep Calm and Roll Sixty-Sixes” background there!
I’ve bought 2 sets that were reprinted with stats on them (1919 and 1986) that have a lot of typos like this on them. Hi Myers has a 22-24 instead of a 7, and Swede Risberg is a Shortstop (B), just to list a couple of them.
Because I still have the original print 1984 set (minus the XB’s) I was able to confirm the result should be 14*6*
Like Willy I was able to find some minor issues, and there is another player that has a typo in the SLUG/OPB area that makes it hard to tell what the true stats were, but it was not that big a deal, and only Dilone’s card had anything glaring on it.
Scott,
You should just add a 146 result to your boards, something fun like a chaotic little league-like play with multiple wild throws or a comedic base running blunder, ie. Ruben Rivera.
Dilone’s a bench player in 84, so it would only happen what once or twice in a season replay. Good for a cheap random chuckle.
That could be interesting. Since Miguel is a speed guy I could do something like that scene in “major league” where Willie Mays Hayes tries to steal second and comes up a foot short of the bag.
