If I HAD to win a game to save my life I'd go to war with these guys:
1B Frank Robinson* 2B Jackie Robinson 3B Brooks Robinson SS Honus Wagner OF Willie Mays OF Roberto Clemente OF Ty Cobb C Yogi Berra SP Bob Gibson RP Bob Gibson (he can close for himself. nobody else is getting on that mound) Bench Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, & Pete Rose *=Cheating a bit here but I'm playing Frank somewhere. I remember a column many years ago by Detroit writer Joe Falls in which he said that if he could pick a team to win one game (or save his life, I'm not sure) that he's start with the three Robinsons and then let the other guy pick his nine. Or something along those lines. It has stuck with me after all this time.

I love that Ted Williams add at DH. He's my number 2 there if Ruth had to be there(aka the second best pure hitter. Id want to put him in the OF w Cobb and Ruth but Willie Mays has to get the nod there given the other tools.

Very interesting that the player with the highest % of HOF votes for quite some time (held that mark for 24 years) is not mentioned on anyone's ballot.
Tom Seaver. There are several other RHPs listed multiple times above (Ryan, Maddux, Gibson, Johnson, etc) that fell below Tom Terrific in HOF voting. I would have thought he would have shown up on at least some lists. Here's mine: LHP - Unit (barely over Carlton) RHP - Ryan (barely over Seaver) C - Bench - (the non-pereil) 1B - Gehrig (with Pujols right behind) 2B - Morgan (with Hornsby right behind) SS - Wagner (with Rip right behind) 3B - Brett (picture under 'ball player' in the dictionary) LF - Bonds (7x MVP) CF - Mays (best all around player, ever) RF - Ruth (what can I say, changed the game) Closer - Mo (Mr. 100%) DH/PH - Teddy Ballgame (best hitter ever) Manager - Sparky
