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.

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
