And honestly, players and coaches in the majors know each other really well, so these cards are more a formality than a reference work. When they do come in handy is when younger players are just breaking into the league and opposing managers might not know a lot about them.

That makes sense. I have never seen these before so these are just really interesting. Thanks for your analysis.
