    All time Baseball Team

    Who do you got? here is my team

    Catcher Jimmy Foxx - Started out as a catcher so i can stick him here if he played in today's day in age he would have eclipsed 800 Homers by the time his career would be done.

    1st Base Lou Gehrig - Possibly the Greatest 1st baseman ever career cut short due to the awful disease.

    2nd Base Roger Hornsby - Hit .400 multiple times was the first second baseman to hit for power and contact

    3rd Base Albert Pujols - He started his career at third and he jus might go down as the greatest player who ever lived

    Shortstop Alex Rodriguez - Pains me (alot) to put him over The captain for the starting spot but Alex was nothing short of phenomenal with the bat and especially with the glove

    Left Field Ted Williams - Last player to hit .400 and one of the greatest pure hitters all time

    Center Field - An in his prime Ken Griffey Jr. - The guy who really should have the HR Record right now. The definition of a 5 tool talent. Back in his hay day no one could stop Junior.

    Right Field Mickey Mantle - Take away the injuries and the chronic drinking problem and you have another great 5 tool talent. mantle's time from home to first before he got that knee injury was better than Ichiro not to mention the advantage of him being a switch hitter.

    DH - Babe ruth - no explanation

    Starting Five

    Sandy Koufax - Greatest Lefty of all time

    Bob Feller - Another insanely good pitcher that put up very impressive numbers despite losing time to the war

    Walter Johnson - The Big Train was the most dominate of his era

    Bob Gibson - they had to lower the mound due to his dominance

    Greg Maddux - Was filthy in the 90's and did not need over powering stuff to win.

    Closer - Mariano Rivera - No explanation needed

    submit yours guys and thanks for reading

            Thank goodness someone put Honus' name out there. Is there a more overlooked/underappreciated player? You can make an argument between Mays/Ruth/Wagner for greatest player ever imo.

              Agree entirely. I probably know a bit more about him than most simply because he played for the Pirates and there's a statue of him outside PNC Park (was outside Three Rivers and got moved when PNC Park was built). As a young boy, I thought the statue was cool so I asked my Dad about Honus. Learned a lot about him...

                    A couple things...

                    If I had to use a DH, then Ted Williams would be the DH with Ruth playing LF. Williams was awful in the outfield, but too good of a hitter to not have in your lineup.

                    I'd also have a hard time choosing any pitcher from before 1920, like Walter Johnson and Cy Young. Realize guys back then basically had two pitches, a fastball and the spitball. If you were able to somehow resurrect them in their prime to pitch today, guys would eat them up.
