Dream Team

[JTysver]

Who is your dream team?
Not necessarily who are the greatest players, but the personalities or playing styles that you would enjoy watching and playing for your team. They could be great, they could be Marv Throneberry. Doesn't matter.

I heard an interview from the Red Barber show in 1947 with Connie Mack giving his all time team and interestingly enough he picked George Sisler for
1B. Over Lou Gehrig. That really surprised me.

Cool question.

I've never seen any of these guys play, but if I could build a field in Iowa, and these dudes would show up, I'd be in heaven.

SS: Omar Vizquel / Ozzie Smith
3b: Frank Malzone
LF: Carl Yastrzemski

DH: Edgar Martinez

SP: Earl Wilson (who was nearly as good a slugger as pitcher)
SP: Hishashi Iwakuma
SP: Jamie Moyer
SP: Bill Monbouquette
SP: Don Schwall (whose rookie season got me following baseball in the daily papers)

RP: Dick Radatz (the Original "Monster")
RP: Edwin Diaz (this kid is filthy, according to Andrew Jerome but, really, his fastball is clean as a whistle)
