Give us your all time personal favorite starting lineup!

[isiahfan]

RHP - Verlander - Along with Big Hurt maybe my top two favorite players ever
RHP - J.R. Richard - a BEAST before a stroke took him down,,,,think of a RH Randy Johnson in his day (honorable mention - The Bird...for his one healthy season he brought magic...and domination
RHP - Ryan - Robin Ventura...along with Brett and Carew...and maybe Reggie...my fave 70s/80's guys
LHP - Randy Johnson - probably the one guy I would least wanted to have faced
LHP - Mickey Lolich - Cards fans may not like this one...a total bulldog and vastly underrated..if not rarely mentioned
RP - 1984 Willie Hernandez.....if for a full career...tough Fingers had/has a great stache...but probably Mariano...boring I know...scratch that...Smoltz...a Faser, MI native...and Tiger that got away
C - Lance Parrish - was my favorite Tiger growing up and his stats are VERY close to Carter and Fisk (his contemporaries) but he never gets mentions in the same sentece...BS
1B - Frank Thomas (Honorable mention - Rod Carew...just loved every aspect of his game as well)
2B - Sweet Lou - Arguably better than Trammell...but not as much of a HOF/media darling (Honorable mention - Roberto Alomar...just loved every aspect of his game)
3B - George Brett
SS - Trammell (honorable mention - Derek Jeter as we were recruited in the same class at UM)
OF - Rickey Henderson
OF - Ty Cobb
OF - Kaline
DH - Miggy - Triple crown for Tigers...nuff said

People are hitting on the biggies. I can't imagine an "all-time best" lineup
without the all-time RBI leader and HR leader, though (and no, Bonds
ain't it). Hank needs to be in the OF. Trent King

Can't have a team without a manager, I'll nominate Earl Weaver just to watch him kick dirt on an umpires shoes one more time.

Oh yes, nice to see those special Tigers listed here. My favorite has to be Charlie Paw Paw Maxwell from the early 1960s. As a young Tiger fan, my thrilling memory of Paw Paw was him launching one of his many Sunday homers into Briggs (Tiger) Stadium’s upper deck.
