I like great defensive plays, amazing feats of athletics (looking at you Bo), and pitchers who can hit (or throw submarine, or pitch with both hands).

Tris Speaker I picked just because I want to see if he lives up to his defensive reputation. We know so much more about the players now that it's hard to put someone really old on an all-time-fun team. Their particular style of playing is lost, besides a handful of anecdotes.

SS Ozzy smith

I am surprised nobody nominated the "Shoeless" one. Jackson must have been fun to watch, if only for his raw talent on the diamond.
