Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted July 17, 2002 I'll only include retired players. C-Johnny Bench 1B-Lou Gehrig 2B-Rogers Hornsby SS-Honus Wagner 3B-George Brett (Schmidt's better but Brett's one of my favs of all time) LF-Ted Williams CF-Willie Mays RF-Hank Aaron DH-Babe Ruth Utility-Pete Rose RHP-Walter Johnson RHP-Bob Gibson LHP-Sandy Koufax LHP-Warren Spahnn LHP-Lefy Grove Setup-Hoyt Wilhelm Setup-Rollie Fingers Closer-Dennis Eckersley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spaceman Spiff Report post Posted July 17, 2002 How about Christy Matthewson in place of Spahn? (Quick comparison)More wins than Spahn (and higher winning %), lower ERA, 81 fewer K's (in 4 fewer seasons). Went 5-5 in the WS w/ a 1.06 ERA. Plus, he was in the 1st HOF class. Matthewson's stats Spahn's stats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted July 17, 2002 C -Johnny Bench 1B-Lou Gehrig 2B-Joe Morgan SS-Honus Wagner 3B-Mike Schmidt LF-Ted Williams CF-Willie Mays RF-Babe Ruth SP-Lefty Grove SP-Walter Johnson SP-Warren Spahn SP-Grover Alexander Closer-Sandy Koufax Spiff, I would note that Mathewson played in a much better era for pitchers. Otherwise, its very close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spaceman Spiff Report post Posted July 17, 2002 Fair enough, but what about Steve Carlton? 2nd only to Spahn for wins by a lefty, and has the 2nd highest K total all-time. And *4* Cy Young Awards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RobJohnstone Report post Posted July 17, 2002 C: Roy Campinella 1B: Lou Gehrig (But if given the opputunity, put an outfielder left out of my starters in this spot) 2B: Rogers Hornsby SS: Ernie Banks 3B: Mike Schmidt LF: Ricky Henderson (FUCK YOU if you disagree, he is top 10 all time) CF: Willie Mays RF: Ted Williams SP: Sandy Koufax SP: Bob Gibson SP: Greg Maddux SP: Walter Johnson SP: Randy Johnson Closer: Dennis Eckersly Lineup: Henderson Hornsby Williams Mays Schmidt Gehrig Banks Campinella --Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted July 17, 2002 Warren Spahn was 35 when the Cy Young award was instituted. Had they given the Cy Young in his prime, he surely would've won more than his share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kingpk Report post Posted July 17, 2002 Little bit of Boston Bias here. C- Carlton Fisk 1B- Lou Gehrig 2B- Rogers Hornsby SS- Honus Wagner 3B- Cal Ripken Jr. (he's the journeyman of the team) LF- Teddy Ballgame CF- Willie Mays RF- Hammerin' Hank SP- Nolan Ryan SP- Sandy Koufax SP- Randy Johnson SP- Louis Tiant SP- Pedro Martinez (The year he got screwed out of MVP) Closer: Dennis Eckersley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post Posted July 17, 2002 I have an idea, along with listing your team, why not put them in a lineup? Here's mine..... SS-Wagner LF-Williams RF-Ruth CF-Mays 1B-Gehrig 3B-Schmidt 2B-Morgan C-Bench SP-W. Johnson Tough to put Morgan so low in the order with his OBP, but it has to be someone.

Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted July 18, 2002 I'm going to have to think a bit more about this one. The out field is loaded, but I'm surprised no one has included Barry Bonds. At least in my opinion he's one of the top 5-10 players ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jerome Drake Report post Posted July 18, 2002 In my opinion Barry Bonds and Willie Mays are the best players alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spaceman Spiff Report post Posted July 18, 2002 Ripken over Schmidt? In what universe? Esp. since Cal is best known as a SS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BillyBump Report post Posted July 18, 2002 BPS, are you serious? You actually believe that Ty Cobb was the greatest player ever? Have you even heard of Josh Gibson?
