BlackSoxFanThis could be answered in a number of ways but i'll limit it to just two...
a) Favorite organized team ever: for me this is..1919 Chicago White Sox.
b) Favorite collected fantasy team. For me this is more than just putting my favorite players on the team at the same time...it's about building a team.... anyone can be the yankees and build a team with 8 50 HR guys ... but i wanted a team with power, speed, defense and all the works. There is no real criteria..but here's a chance to have fun with an idea.
Here are the rules:
a) you have to play the player at the position they are known for...ie..Jackie is at 2b..not 3b ... those of you that want to put horsnby on your team really should use him at 2b!
b) Outfielders can be messed with a little bit... as you'll see with my team.
c) You have to create a batting order.
d) You get one Bench player - that's it .. one ... just one..this is to put your favorite player on your team if you don't really have a place for him...for example, i love clemente...so he takes my bench position.
e) RUTH RULE: NO USING PLAYERS 2X - RUTH IS EITHER A PITCHER OR A HITTER, although i felt this was already covered by rule A.
f) You get 4 Pitchers - 1 LEFT HANDED START 1 RIGHT HANDED STARTER 1 UTILITY STARTER and 1 CLOSER - A closer is going to be someone like Lee Smith... yes i know thtat closers weren't really around 40 years ago, but just deal with it...dem da rules...
