second greatest all time team

[Archive]

Posted By: Ryan Christoff

Here's my all-time team from the Cuban League, the Santa Clara Leopardos.



In spite of only being in the league for 11 seasons, this team would compete with any all-time Major League team including the Yankees.

There are 7 HOFers and another 3 with realistic chances to get in (Suttles, Marcelle, R. Brown). Maybe Bankhead, too. Here's the team:

C – Josh Gibson
1b – Mule Suttles
2b – Frank Warfield
3b – Oliver “Ghost” Marcelle
SS – Willie Wells
OF – Oscar Charleston
OF – Turkey Stearnes
OF – Alejandro Oms
RHP – Satchel Paige
RHP – Martin Dihigo
RHP – Hilton Smith
RHP – Raymond Brown
LHP – Dave Brown
LHP – Luis Tiant, (Sr.)
LHP – Lazaro Salazar
LHP – Cocaina Garcia
U – Sam Bankhead
