Dream Team
With the All-Star game approaching, thought I would start the periodic discussion of the best-of-the-best. A couple of rules: 1) A strict limit of 25 players. 2) All fielding positions must be represented at least once. I have also limited my team to HOF'ers, but that's just me. Let the arguments ensue!
 C - Josh Gibson C - Johnny Bench 1B - Lou Gehrig 1B/LF - Stan Musial 2B - Rogers Hornsby 2B/3B - Jackie Robinson SS - Honus Wagner 3B - George Brett CF - Ty Cobb CF - Joe DiMaggio CF - Mickey Mantle CF - Willie Mays LF - Ted Williams RF - Babe Ruth RF - Hank Aaron RHP - Cy Young RHP - Christy Mathewson RHP - Grover Cleveland Alexander RHP - Walter Johnson RHP - Bob Feller RHP - Satchel Paige RHP - Bob Gibson RHP - Nolan Ryan LHP - Lefty Grove LHP - Sandy Koufax

I dont have much to add, but to me the easiest argument in sports is who is the best pitcher ever. Walter Johnson is so far ahead of everyone else on a list like this that any argument you use to justify someone else could be used to further Johnsons credentials because if he had been on a good team he would have won 500+ games with only around 125 losses. The guy was simply on a level that nobody else has come close to regardless of time period.
