Hmmm...havent seen a Baseball thread on here in a while, anyone have any choices for the perfect All-Time Fantasy Baseball Team (anyone, from any team, at any period of time)?
Mine:
--------------
C - Josh Gibson
1st - Jimmie Foxx
2nd - Rogers Hornsby
3rd - Brooks Robinson
Shortstop - Ozzie Smith
Left P - Lefty Grove
Right P - Satchel Paige
Outfield - Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams
Good question! Can my response include Sharon Stone anywhere?
Catcher - Josh Gibson
1st - Lou Gherig
2nd - Rogers Hornsby
3rd - Mike Schmidt
SS - Honus Wagner
Lefty Starter - Warren Spahn
Righty Starter - Nolan Ryan
Relief Pitcher - Dennis Eckersly
OF - Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Ty Cobb
Kansas District Overbeer
Good start Preston....
I will ponder this and post a list. As good as Josh Gibson was in the Negro era, Johnny Bench may be the best catcher in the modern era yet.
~Hill
Mine, Including DH's, 5 starting pitchers, 2 setup pitchers and 2 closers. IF
1B: Lou Gherig
2B: Craig Biggio
SS: Cal Ripken Jr
3B: Honus Wagner
OF:
Kirby Pcukett
Ty Cobb
Willie Mays
Pitching rotation:
Starting Pitchers
Nolan Ryan
Sandy Koufax
Josh Gibson
Roger Clemens
John Smoltz
(The entire starting rotation from the Braves' '90's teams probably.)
Setup/Middle Reliever: Mariano Rivera
Closers: Dennis Eckersley
Sparky Lyle
DH: Edgar Martinez
Ruth wouldn't make it on my list because the guy couldn't field worth shit.
Johnny Bench vs. "The Black Babe Ruth"?
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Bench was great! He was a great defensive player and hit for power during the Reds best years, it would be hard to knock the guy. One can only speculate how Gibson would of played in majors, but still, the guy hit close to 800 homers...

Ruth wouldn't make it on my list because the guy couldn't field worth shit.
You included Koufax even though his first five years weren't up to par. Not only was Babe Ruth one of the best hitters of all time, he was also one of the best pitchers when he started for Boston. He's definitely in the rotation...

Logan,
Sharon Stone can't play Baseball
- Preston
While he was not noted for his hitting, Tony Pena, get's high marks from me as a defensive catcher... I think his style has changed the way catchers do the job today.
Jack Morris has got to be on the short list of pitchers...along with Orel Herscieser (Is the spelling close?)
~Hill
1B: Lou Gehrig or Jimmie Foxx
2B: Rogers Hornsby
SS: Honus Wagner
3B: Mike Schmidt or Wade Boggs
LF: Ty Cobb
CF: Willie Mays
RF: Babe Ruth
C: Mike Piazza
SP1: Cy Young
SP2: Walter Johnson
SP3: Christy Mathewson
