Sr. Garza,

He is in the MLB Hall of Fame. You should be able to find highlights of his career on their website...along with others.

Best regards,

Eric

Kinda hard to argue with the guys on the list but if I HAVE to HAVE one guy on my team it would have to be Pete Rose. If my life depended on it, I want him on my side.

[Kenny Cole]

For one game:

2B Jackie Robinson -- Steals home in the WS and generally makes everyone nervous

SS Wagner -- Great in every respect.

RF Ruth -- enough said.

CF Mantle. I love Mays and Charleston, but Mantle was so dominant in the post-season that I have to pick him

1B Gehrig.

LF Bonds. Hands down. Far and away the greatest hitter I've ever seen in person, and I've seen many of them. IBB with the bases loaded? Seriously? No one ever wanted to pitch to him

3B Schmidt

C Probably go with Gibson over Bench by just a touch.

P Koufax. ERA in the world series he pitched in was miniscule.

[btcarfagno]

If my life depends on it defense goes out the window. My pitching will be good enough and offense good enough that it won't matter.

LF Ty Cobb
2B Rogers Hornsby
RF Babe Ruth
1B Barry Bonds
DH Ted Williams
CF Willie Mays
SS Honus Wagner
C Josh Gibson
3B Mike Schmidt

SP Walter Johnson
Relief Randy Johnson
Closer Mariano Rivera

That team would beat any team made up of any other players 10 times out of 10.

I think.....
