DaveLIf you could clone any player nine times to form a team, I would clone 9 Ruths and match 'em up against 9 Cobbs, and I would clobber you.  I would, of course, have the distinct advantage of having a pretty decent pitcher at my disposal (and 8 not-too-shabby relievers).  But even if you want to discount Ruth the pitcher, I would take 8 Ruths and any given pitcher, vs 8 Cobbs and the same pitcher.  I would still clobber you (or so I believe).  Maybe its weird logic, but that's the way I see it. (By the way, the pitcher I would take would be Lefty Grove, but that's another thread).
