Great selections from everyone thus far! Any of the teams that have been assembled could win a World Series. The variety of players chosen have been excellent, and the players all have storied careers. It's safe to say this is a trip down memory lane for us. I love Frank Howard in the DH role.

You know, I was thinking about this. I think a good case could be made for Bill White when you consider both his career and his time a a league president.

I think the aptly named Dick Allen would statistically measure up.

Steve Garvey or Gil Hodges would make nice representatives at first base.

Tim Raines is much, much better than a number of outfielders already in the hall.

Finally, one who does not get his due is Maury Wills. He was an evolutionary player in the game. His post-career stuff hurt him, but anyone would take Maury in his prime as their shortstop.

I agree with all of your points, and yes, Bill White has really flown under the radar.
