come on topps, this is not how this works

remember at the winter olympics earlier this year when the canadian two-man bobsleigh team tied with one of the german two-man bobsleigh teams for gold, and the gold was given to canada because their country comes before germany alphabetically? and, as a result, germany got the silver? no? you don't remember that? well, good, because that is not how ties work in the olympics.

same goes for baseball players who tie for the league lead in any given category.  remember the 1982 topps league leader cards where the american league had four players tie for the top spot?  if not, see below. 

they each received equal billing.

well, 36 years later, topps has forgotten.  i pulled this card in a pack of 2018 topps big league

look at kenley jansen there in second place. he must have had fewer saves in 2017 than league leader greg holland.  except that he didn't.  holland and jansen each had 41 saves, a fact that is revealed on the  back of the card

i can only think that holland got top billing because h precedes j in the alphabet.  and poor fernando rodney, who tied for third place didn't even get a photo, perhaps thanks to r coming after k in the alphabet.

earlier this year i noted that they had the wrong guy on a league leader card, and now they assign the wrong order and ignore a guy on this one.  just another half-assed effort from topps.
