An interesting question posed to me by a friend of mine recently.
I was born in 1977, but grew up watching baseball in the 80’s & 90’s; the steroid era essentially.
Looking back on this generation, the offensive players undoubtedly come to mind first as offensive numbers skyrocketed.
But what about the legendary hurlers that dominated in this extraordinarily difficult competitive landscape?
These are the pitchers (and their rookie cards) that came to mind for me…
Roger Clemens - 1984 Fleer Update
Greg Maddux - 1987 Topps Traded Tiffany
Randy Johnson - 1989 Topps Tiffany
Pedro Martinez - 1991 Upper Deck Final Edition???
I’m interested to hear from some of the MLB fans out there what they think.
Which of these pitchers stands out the most to you?
Which of their rookie cards has the most potential growth in the future?
Could be a fun topic, let’s hear it!

I am not a card guy, so I can't contribute much. But I would assume that the value of anything Clemens will go up if/when a committee puts him in the hall.
Roger and Pedro are my favorite two pitchers ever, in that order.
