I think it's interesting how people are picking old pitchers and also throwing a reliever in there as if you're going to take out Walter Johnson, Sandy Koufax or Christy Mathewson for anyone else with your life on the line.
The other interesting part, why pick a reliever, what if the game goes extra innings, or what if your starter doesn't have it at all? I picked Johnson and Mathewson. I would never take a reliever, not even Roy Face, who went 3+ innings numerous times. That seems like an awful risky thing to do in this situation.
As for the all Yankees lineup, how about an all Pirates lineup. You have the two best shortstop of all-time, so that hurts a little, but you could still put out:
CF Carey
SS Wagner
RF Clemente
1B Stargell
DH Kiner
LF P.Waner
3B Traynor
2B Mazeroski
C Sanguillen(or Al Lopez if you want all HOF)
Bench: Vaughan, Cuyler, L.Waner, Beckley
P Pud Galvin
