Best Starting 9 in a single set?

Many options and all making of a strong starting 9

Switching from short to third is pretty common I would think, but did anyone notable other than Ott switch from outfield to third?

Hi Peter

The 1933 GOUDEY set is replete with star outfielders; therefore, I positioned Mel Ott at 3rd base. Simply, because I wanted him in my Line-up everyday.

To your question.....can you say Craig Nettles ? Craig played the outfield the first 3 (or four) years of his career.

Furthermore, through-out the 1960's Harmon Killebrew played Left Field (besides 3rd base).

I'll get us started: Tommy Leach, Bob Elliott, Frank Thomas I, and Enos Cabell come to mind. Maybe Freddie Lindstrom? I'm sure there are lots of others.
