Default Choose your all-time HOF team

Inspired by Clint's thread https://net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=338118 I thought we could choose an entire HOF team...not just 1 player.

For a bit of fun...

Suppose you could build a team of 11 players (9 players on the field, 1 relief pitcher and 1 DH) and a manager, but you can only choose from members of the HOF. Who's on your team?

You can choose a player from any time and any league so long as they're in Cooperstown.

https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-fam...-fame-explorer

Name your team and let us know why. Here's mine:

Manager: Joe Torre
Pitcher: Sandy Koufax
Catcher: Johnny Bench
1B: Lou Gehrig
2B: Rod Carew
3B: George Brett
SS: Honus Wagner
RF: Hank Aaron
LF: Ted Williams
CF: Willie Mays
DH: Babe Ruth
Relief Pitcher: Bob Gibson

Rationale:
This team has a lot of hits and a lot of runs in it and some amazing fielding capability. I chose Ruth as a DH because as great as he was, let's face it, he wasn't known for incredible defensive work. That leaves room for Aaron in Right Field.

An infield of Gehrig, Carew, Wagner, Brett and Bench has speed and skill plus they'll create hits and stolen bases.

The choice of manager was harder than I thought. Who could get the best out of a blend of a mix of players from across the ages? I would like to have chosen Billy Martin as the manager but he's not in Cooperstown like I think he should be.
