Best Starting 9 in a single set?

A lot of vintage ones...I like this modern one

1995 Bowman

C - Piazza or IRod
1B - Thomas
2B - Alomar
SS - ARod
3B - Chipper
OF - Bonds/Griffey/Henderson
SP - Martinez/Maddux/Johnson/Clemens
Set up - Eck
RP - Rivera

Like my chances if you don't take them in 95 but rather in their primes/overall careers...also could drop back to 94 and insert Ryan and Brett..but then you don't have them all in the same set,

This is a great one. I was thinking mid 90�s as well.

You could move back to 93 Finest Refractors, swap in Ripken at SS and Brett at 3B and I think all you lose are Pedro and Rivera.and of course you get Ryan.

I mainly think a lineup of stars from this year would beat any of the past lineups, obviously just due to conditioning, league inclusiveness, etc. Perhaps a topic for a different thread but what�s the common thought if we stole Ruth from the past and plopped him into today�s game? Is he a Thome type guy, a Ruth type guy,
or a me type guy (ie not good)?

I think any modern lineup loses. You don't have a pitcher that can pitch 9 innings. I think Ruth is still Ruth. The best players would still be among the best. The number of active Hall of Famers per season has been declining since the 70s. Why is that?
