A league-leading record and a "what might have been"

Yesterday I blogged how the unanswered question about Tony Gwynn's modern record batting average will always be, would he have recorded the same average over a full season if the 1994 season had not been prematurely ended by the Major League Baseball Player's Association strike?  It was a question that the card compilers at Fleer asked as well - in their words "the saddest 'what could have been?'" of the 1994 season.

Card Number 393: Fleer Ultra, 1995 (League Leaders card); #6

The foilboard scans a bit like a refractor on this card.

The cardback sums up the situation.

Tony's 1994 hitting title was his first in a streak of four in a row in the 1990s. He would also lead the National League in hits in two more subsequent seasons. (Tony was overall leader in hits across both leagues four times!)

Total: 393/394
