bill , you need to relax bro, this is for fun not to have a coronary about things! geez! relax!

my wording might be confusing but it makes sense to me and in the end thats what matters most. sorry you didnt understand what i was trying to say. the majority of folks understood it, so its a mute point.

if i picked all of the brooklyn greats then yes i could pick a complete 25 member team with just brooklyn dodgers. for example if i picked pitcher bob longtooth, how many people would know him? or even saw him pitch? if i say sandy koufax or clayton kershaw, how many people know them and how many people actually saw them play? a whole lot more. if i picked first baseman tom big bottoms, who would know him? probably no one, but if i say steve garvey, 99.9% of people even not dodgers fans, will know him or have seen him play.
again, yes i can build a team of a bunch of people no one has heard off that were great"back in the day" but what fun would that be? with the exception of grimes, wheat etc.

i think people like players they connect with. for some when people say dodgers they think robinson, hodges, reese, koufax, drysdale hershisher, piazza, garvey, snider scully, lasorda , valenzuela. for others when they think dodgers they think cox, johnson, smith, taylor and morgan. to each their own, im trying to pik a team of greats that are legends, legens to me are players that EVERYONE knows like koufax, drysdale jackie robinson duke sniooder, orel and fernando. every dodger fan knows them!

lets have fun with this and not try to have a heart attack about "wording" or how one interprets or reads things.
