I believe it was Detroit sportswriter Joe Falls in one of his columns in The Sporting News who did this sort of thing. He said (paraphrasing here) 'Spot me the three Robinsons, pick a team for yourself, and I'll finish mine and beat you more than you'll beat me.' As an Orioles fan that has stuck with me for over a half century. In that spirit here is my team. WAR leaders? Not necessarily. But these are 12 guys I'd happily go to war with.
