That's my team minus the extra pitchers
I think that's a good balance between straight power and defense. I'd take Mantle over Mays cause I firmly believe in his prime that Mantle was better. I could mix and match in the outfield but figured I'd keep them in there natural spots. Jackie might not have the statistics of a Hornsby but all I've ever read about Hornsby was he was miserable in the field and I think given the first 7 to eight years he missed Jackie is right there in the 2nb disscussion with Morgan, Hornsby and Collins. The Starting four could be a mix of at least 15 pitchers but I want complete games and two lefties and two righties. Spahns on there to break up the heat the others bring. If I could break up the outfielders I'd take Musial, Aaron, Mays and DiMaggio over Robinson but he was a natural RF and its not like he's anything to sneeze at!
