Nope, Tigers. They found him first.

I wonder how Dwight Evans would look with an O's cap on his plaque, should he ever get elected to the HOF. Or Randy Johnson wearing a Giants cap.

I'd be torn between Edgar Martinez and Miguel Cabrera to DH because I'd have somebody else play 1st, of course.

My heart says Edgar, but I think I'd end up caving in to reason and going with Cabrera.

Id have to go with Teddy Ballgame. (Miggy has only served as a DH 38 more times than Williams did. Which was never once. Obviously.)

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but after Mays & Cobb, I would have thought of Speaker, Snider, DiMaggio & Mantle all before Edmunds. He didn't even come to mind....

I always forget about Speaker.
DiMaggio being in between Ruth and Mantle I don't think much about him and am always surprised when I look him up.
Mantle has been drilled into my head my whole life, being my fathers favorite player. So I skip him thinking he is one always put up here.
Snider and Edmunds numbers are very close, but I would give it to Edmunds on defense.

 

[steveringo]

If only we had a time machine like Bill & Ted... Rufus and those two idiots wasted their time with Beethoven and Genghis Khan.... They should have been grabbing Johnson, Ruth, Bench, et al. for a massive all time tournament....

Any screen writers out there? I'm thinking of a cross between Bill & Ted and Field of Dreams. That is a movie I want to see.

Would anybody be interested in doing a best of vote per position like Nosferatu did in football?


Top 16 round robin. One position each week, set up the players over the weekend and let each vote go for a day.

I thought about doing one for baseball as well... Count me in.
