I saw this on ESPN, what is your all time All-star team?

You can post two of each if you want.

Pitcher -Randy Johnson/Nolan Ryan

Catcher -Johnny Bench/Gary Carter

First base- Albert Pujols/Lou Gehrig

Second base -Joe Morgan/Bill Mazeroski

Shortstop -Honus Wagner/Ozzie Smith

Third base -Mike Schmidt/George Brett

Right Field -Roberto Clemente/Babe Ruth

Center field -Willie mays/Ken Griffey Jr.

Left field - Willie Stargell/Barry Bonds
 
I would automatically disquailify Bonds and Pujols from the conversation. Perhaps Griffey too. Sorry Junior, luv ya but you should have hung around with different guys.

I don't think I would have any of those three on my list anyway. Pujols over Jimmy Foxx and Bill Terry? Bonds (and Stargell???) over Ted Williams, Ty Cobb and Hank Aaron? Griffey over Dimaggio and Mantle?

Lots of home cooking here too.

Mazeroski over Rogers Hornsby and Jackie Robinson???

Clemente over Reggie Jackson?

At least you're a little more objective than HDMM will be. He likes to do things from a 'Cleveland perspective'.

I'm sure somehow Jim Thome will make his list...

Starting Pitcher: Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson

Relief Pitcher: Mariano Rivera and Rollie Fingers

Hard to argue that list buddy. :up
 

Nice list, Matt! :up

Feller is in my top five all time starters.

IMO, there's no right or wrong list when it comes to baseball's greats.

The players to choose from is so vast!

Thanks Bill. In reality, I just composed that list as a joke in response to Sandra's previous comment.

The list you compiled is THE list of "All-Time Greats" though.

I've been following baseball since 1975 (I know, I know I'm an old fart! ), and the Indians have always seemed to be strong at one position in particular: CF.

I'm going back to the Rick Manning days, to Lofton and now to Grady! :up
 
I've been following baseball since '70.
Lets make our list from '70 on, maybe even '65 on, seeing we can make it in OUR lifetime.

I'll name a few definates on MY team.

C - Johnny Bench
RF- Al Kaline, Roberto Clemente
2B - Joe Morgan
CF - Ken Griffey Jr.

Pete Rose somewhere ....

To name just a few for starters, off the top of my head.

Pedro from 1998 through about 2003 was just sick!

His 1999 was arguably the greatest season a pitcher EVER had, if you consider the era he pitched in (steroids, juiced balls, smaller ballparks, etc. ,etc.), and the fact he weighed about 160 lbs. soaking wet!

Yeah, right...like you wouldn't have posted a Cleveland list anyway.

Ed Morgan? Wasn't a big century for the five-spot in Cleveland, huh?

Wait...you're claiming Frank Robinson?!?!?

Frankie's my backup. He played in Cleveland from '74-'76.

And yes, the 3rd Base Position hasn't been one of our most glorified spots. On second thought, I nominate Al Rosen to start at 3rd......

Just thought of a few others: Tris Speaker, Earl Avrill and Larry Doby. All played Center too! More on Tris Speaker though....

You know, you always have to turn something fun into a competition. It was suppose to see what everyone's views was, it wasn't suppose to be what the media or even you think it should be. If HD wants to put a all Cleavland team, well that's fine, it's HIS opinion.

If I wanted an all Pittsburgh team, I could of, but I didn't, it was my choice. Maybe you should stop worrying about what everyone else opinions are and worry about yourself.

Ramy or any other mod can you close this thread, the fun of this thread has been taken out of it.
