TriStar has a ....DIFFERENT!...... definition of the term "STAR" then others might define some of the players included.
Example. This product in particular includes such "STARS" as :
Randy Gumpert -(Win/Loss = 51-59) - Claim to fame is that he is the pitcher that Mickey Mantle hit his first Home Run off of.
Tracy Stallard - (Win/Loss = 30-57) - Most remembered as the pitcher Roger Maris hit his 61st(*) Home Run from in '61.
That all being said,this was all before I actually opened one of the balls and got the Marichal...As far as the price, the boxes sell for about $90, which is roughly about even money with what a Marichal auto balls seems to sell for on most respectable sites..
Yeah not a big fan of Tri Star mystery balls. But it would be safe to say this is a push. didn't win didn't lose so DRAW
