Default All-Star Team of the Decade: 1950's

Posted By: Brian Lindholme

Not meaning to beat up Ted because he has mostly great choices in his list...


~Mize...wrong decade, but maybe not enough in the 40's either.
~Koufax...wrong decade
~Who would beat out Willie Mays if Say Hey wasn't such a rifle arm? This sounds like Carl Furillo almost made the list...Mays is one of the players who make it any way you slice it...and that could go for the 60's as well.

Gil Hodges and Warren Spahn should be included in the 50's greatest players in my opinion.

Anyone else think that Ted's NL team overpowers the AL team by a significant margin?
Someone ought to run this lineup through one of those computer simulations and see who comes out on top !

Great topic...let's see some more decades in another thread. I'll be thinking about my 60's 70's and 80's teams....
