Your definition is right on, but in difference I like the XRC designation in most cases.  I think if the player shows in his major league uni, it's a RC, games played or not. XRC would be shown in a minor league uni or other (high school, college, olympic, etc).
The McGwire was a bit of an aberration as to how that became the rookie. I don't have a clue how it broke the rules, but I think it was more so because there was not much of a previous example mainstream. |
I thought for Beckett XRC was used for products not sold in packs, nothing to do with uniform.
