Your all time Starting lineup

[SAllen2556]

Sorry, I'm a homer:

1b Hank Greenberg
2b Charlie Gehringer
ss Alan Trammell
3b Miguel Cabrera
C Mickey Cochrane
LF Harry Heilmann
CF Ty Cobb
RF Sam Crawford
RHP Justin Verlander
LHP Hal Newhouser
Closer John Hiller
Bench: Dan Brouthers, Sam Thompson, Norm Cash

Just don't bunt to the third base side.

I find it odd that one of the most popular players of all time (Mantle) is on no one's list.

[ejharrington]

Is this meant to be favorite players or best players?

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

If we're taking players at their peak to actually play games that's the different than picking the best career at each position. Not that a peak can be as short as one or two fluke seasons.

My list:

1b Gehrig
2b Jackie Robinson
Ss Wagner
3b Schmidt
Of Cobb Ruth Mays
C Piazza
Rh Pedro Martinez
Lh Koufax
Closer - who cares. Rivera, Hoffman, Quisenberry, Sutter, they make very little difference to a team's success unless they're awful.

Reserves: Williams, Trout
