2022 Topps Heritage Minor League Baseball Forum

2 questions about how this set has been entered: For example: 1973 Topps Tarjetas 73TJ-1

1 - The team names are just the 'nicknames' used during the Hispanic Heritage days in MILB. Is it appropriate that this is used for the team name.

2 - If the answer to the above is yes, should the cards at a minimum then not be affilaited to the 'proper' name of the team so for example the card linked above is linked to the Carolina Mudcats, as well as the appropriate major league affiliate ?

My inclination would be to list the team with the "real" minor league name (as opposed to their Copa de la Diversión nicknames) and listing what's currently in the team spot as a Note2 instead. That way, the players link to the "real" MiLB teams' pages while also making the name printed on the card a prominent piece of information in the database. But I'll let others chime in to see what the consensus is.

This is what I would have suggested as well. Team should always be the database-listed name. Many examples throughout the years of Yanks, Cards, Colts, etc. in place of the full name being used on the cards, yet we still use "New York Yankees", "St. Louis Cardinals", & "Houston Colt .45's", despite what's on the card.

I went ahead and made the edits. The MLB affiliates should be linked to these cards now as well.

As the kids say (or used to say), "You da man!"
