make your baseball team by the decades

[Archive]

Heres a fun game if anyone else wants to try.There are 14 different decades of major league baseball,so you have to make a team using one player per decade.Rules are you have to have one starter at each positionm2 reserve fielders and 4 man rotation.If a guy played one game in a certain decade then you can put him on the team for that decade.

It would be interesting to see what different kind of teams people come up with.Heres mine and you'll notice that some players decades can be interchangeable

example; My catcher is Carlton Fisk,hes my favorite all-time player so its an obvious choice for me.I chose Willie Mays as my 60s rep but since both he and Fisk played in both decades they can be listed as either.Same goes for Schmidt and Fisk,Bonds and Clemens,Mays and Williams,Mathewson and Johnson.Hopefully you see my point now

Anyway heres my team
c fisk 1970s
1b foxx 1940s
2b hornsby 1930s
ss wagner 1890s
3b schmidt 1980s
of ruth 1920s
of mays 1960s
of williams 1950s
res anson 1880s
res bonds 2000s
p johnson 1900s
p mathewson 1910s
p spalding 1870s
p clemens 1990s

2 choices who were left off my team because of the decades squeeze are Gehrig and Cobb.I almost used Anson as my 1870s player but Spalding was just so dominat and a good hitter that i couldnt put any of the great 1880s pitchers ahead of him
