John Roberts posted this beauty on Facebook a few days ago. This reprint of Matt Herges 2001 card has something rather critical missing. Why yes, I believe a pitching grade is in order.
For what it’s worth, those in on the discussion think Herges should get a B* for his work with the LA Dodgers.

Herges is actually a local boy, growing up in Champaign-Urbana. He pitched for the Champaign Centennial Chargers high school team. My buddy Brando drafted him for his Illowa APBA League team and always referred to him as “homeboy”.
Well, speaking of Brando, he just showed up to play some APBA…
