If it's life or death, I don't know how you could pass on Bonds for your team, especially during his peak years. I'd also go for the best player for every position regardless if what I thought of their desire. Sure Rose or Jeter are great players, but you have to leave off all-time greats that dwarf them to put them on the team and I wouldn't risk that for one game with so much on the line.

Bench-Gehrig-Hornsby-Wagner-Schmidt
Bonds-Mays-Ruth
Ted Williams DH
Mathewson starting, Walter Johnson relief pitcher. In one all or nothing game you have to go with the two best pitchers ever.
