Favorite ...... All-Time Team....
 

Posted By: <b>BlackSoxFan</b><p>This could be answered in a number of ways but i'll limit it to just two...<br />a) Favorite organized team ever: for me this is..1919 Chicago White Sox.<br /><br />b) Favorite collected fantasy team. For me this is more than just putting my favorite players on the team at the same time...it's about building a team.... anyone can be the yankees and build a team with 8 50 HR guys ... but i wanted a team with power, speed, defense and all the works. There is no real criteria..but here's a chance to have fun with an idea.<br /><br />Here are the rules: <br />a) you have to play the player at the position they are known for...ie..Jackie is at 2b..not 3b ... those of you that want to put horsnby on your team really should use him at 2b!<br />b) Outfielders can be messed with a little bit... as you'll see with my team.<br />c) You have to create a batting order.<br />d) You get one Bench player - that's it .. one ... just one..this is to put your favorite player on your team if you don't really have a place for him...for example, i love clemente...so he takes my bench position.<br />e) RUTH RULE: NO USING PLAYERS 2X - RUTH IS EITHER A PITCHER OR A HITTER, although i felt this was already covered by rule A.<br />f) You get 4 Pitchers - 1 LEFT HANDED START 1 RIGHT HANDED STARTER 1 UTILITY STARTER and 1 CLOSER - A closer is going to be someone like Lee Smith... yes i know thtat closers weren't really around 40 years ago, but just deal with it...dem da rules...<br /><br />C- Josh Gibson<br />1B- Greenberg<br />2B- Jackie Robinson<br />3B- Eddie Matthews<br />SS- H Wagner (wanted arky vaughn, but how can you pass up hans)<br />RF- Hank Aaron<br />CF- Billy Hamilton<br />LF- Shoeless Joe Jackson<br />BN- Clemente<br /><br />RHP- Walter Johnson (#1)<br />LHP- Koufax (#2)<br />UTP- Spahn (#3)<br />RP- Eckersley<br /><br />Batting Order:<br />1st - Hamilton<br />2nd - Robinson<br />3rd - Jackson<br />4th - Aaron<br />5th - Greenberg<br />6th - Matthews<br />7th - Greenberg<br />8th - Wagner<br />9th - Pitcher<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Black Sox Fan<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><a href="http://www.blacksoxfan.com" target="new" border="0"><img src="http://www.blacksoxfan.com/images/art/sig.jpg"></a><br /><a href=mailto:shoelessjoe@blacksoxfan.com?subject=Ne t54>email me</a><br /><br />* I'm smart enough to know that there are a lot of people who know more than I do.

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p>My favorite team(s) would be the Pirates from 1990-92 among teams i watched and probably the 1933 Pirates who had 5 future hall of famers among their regular starters,and Waite Hoyt on the mound as well as some other semi-star players from the past.<br /><br />My favorite lineup would be<br /><br />of- Billy Hamilton<br />ss-Honus Wagner<br />of-Willie Mays<br />of-Babe Ruth<br />1b-Willie Stargell<br />dh/util.-Barry Bonds<br />c-Carlton Fisk<br />3b-Pie Traynor<br />2b-Bobby Grich<br /><br />rp-Walter Johnson<br />lp-Wilbur Cooper<br />p- Larry Corcoran<br />rp-Kent Tekulve<br /><br />Its very different from my all-time greatest team but if i could put my own team together of players i like and want to see than these are the guys.Had to pick Wilbur Cooper for the lefty since hes the only Pirates pitcher with other 200 wins in a Pittsburgh uniform and i couldnt have only 5 Bucs on my team <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

I can't think of any; maybe Appling when he got old?<br />SS: Wagner <br />RF: Ruth (ballooned up nicely in the later years)<br />CF: Fatty Fothergill (for the nickname alone)<br />LF: Tony Gwynn (must've been eating at Roberto's too much; S.D. Mexican chain)<br />P: Wilbur Wood (pudgy fat)<br />P: Mickey Lolich (pitched better as he gained weight)<br />P: David Wells (anyone who retorts to comments about his weight by saying he never saw anyone on the DL with pulled fat has to be on the list)

Posted By: <b>Dave Williams</b><p>In regards to Terry Forster....<br /><br />He holds the record for highest batting average career all time for players with more than 500 games played....<br /><br />Although Mike Stanton may get that record if he doesn't have a couple of 0 for 2 seasons.<br /><br />
