Sure I can. Remember, I said that the team I put forth wasn't necessarily the best team possible. It's the team I'd like to see play together, the nine guys that would be most enjoyable to me. I love Aaron, and if I were only considering the best at each position, he'd be in the final cut down. But Clemente and Yount are my favorite two players ever, so they get the nod. Yount is one of the top three or four shortstops to ever play the game, but nobody in their right mind would put him ahead of Hans, not even the biggest Brewers fan out there.

If I'm just putting together a team that's the greatest at each position, it would look something like this:

LF Williams, Musial or Barry Bonds
CF Mays or Cobb
RF Aaron (putting Ruth at pitcher, or DH)
3B Schmidt, Brett or Mathews
SS Wagner
2B Hornsby, or, if Raja's in a pissy mood, Eddie Collins
1B Gehrig
C Bench

But that's so boring. That same lineup has been spit out in every "all-time lineup" discussion for the past ten years.

Aaron would never make any list.

Extremely overrated.

Since y'all love anecdotes.

"As far as I'm concerned, (Hank) Aaron is the best ball player of my era. He is to baseball of the last fifteen years what Joe DiMaggio was before him. He's never received the credit he's due." Source: Baseball Digest (June 1970)

I�ll take Trout, Salmon & Bass in the outfield, but don�t have an infield that can swim.

So long as your infield had Doerr and Gates up the middle, with Wall and Pillar on the corners, I think you�d be ok. You could always but Fisher on the mound and Fisk behind the plate

From my lofty perch I won't carp with those choices, but I think you need to play Gill somewhere.
