C Josh Gibson (based on reputation mostly -- based on MLB Stats I'll Take Bench )
1B Gehrig 2B Hornsby (not a good fielder though) SS H. Wagner 3B A Rodriguez (reluctantly ....) OF: B Bonds (LF) ; W Mays (CF); B Ruth (RF) -- O Charleston Utility : A Pujols; R Henderson (PR) T Cobb (PR/PH) DH T Williams --- SP R- W Johnson SP L -L Grove Long Relief : S Paige Short Relief - M. Rivera Mgr. J McGraw (he could fill in at 3b where he had a great OBA) ---- I'm a history guy. I feel bad about the 19th Century and Negro Leaguers but the lack of reliable comparative data makes it hard. I picked Josh Gibson and noted a few others from the negro leagues. My understanding is that O. Charleston was the best Negro League position player but he played CF and I'm not willing to slate him above Mays. I also thought about Buck Ewing as a 19th Century guy because he was supposed to be the best all around player of the era as a utility entry or Catcher and King Kelly too. The early pitchers put up crazy numbers (40-50 win seasons and short 300+ win careers ) but they are really hard to evaluate with the odd rules of the era .... Cy Young was tempting as the RHP since he is so far and away the wins leader but I went with Johnson because he was more dominant. |
