Who is your starting 9 of all-time?

Re: Who is your starting 9 of all-time?

I could make a case for a dozen pitchers.....and nobody would be "wrong" per se.....but I think Pedro is underrated....maybe more overlooked really.
Truth be told....it's probably Walter Johnson hands down if you get to it. Maddux has to be in that talk as well.

What Pedro did at Fenway, during the height of the steroid/offensive era is just insane. You can make a good case that, relative to his league, it was the best 4-5 year run of all time.

Him and Koufax in the modern era. Pre 1950 it is very hard to quantify. Tough lineup to crack. Not a mention of Joe D.

Berra
Gehrig
Hornsby
Schmidt
Wagner
Ruth
Mays
Aaron

Koufax
Martinez

Smoltz
Rivera

Alright, I'll bite. I like stuff like this.

1B - George Sisler
2B - Rogers Hornsby
3B - Mike Schmidt
SS - Ozzie Smith/Ernie Banks (Seriously can't decide, both are synonymous with SS)
LF - Stan Musial (The only man to sit in the top 50 of every major recorded hitting stat, the greatest all around hitter)
CF - Babe Ruth
RF - Hank Aaron

DH - Consult my sig.

SP - Bob Gibson
SP - Sandy Koufax
SP - Steve Carlton
SP - Walter Johnson
SP - Christy Mathewson

CP - Mariano Rivera

Dang it. I hate these lists. Especially the pitchers. There are so many names that didn't make it. Bob Feller, Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, Lou Brock, Brooks Robinson, Trevor Hoffman, Phil Niekro, Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Al Kaline, Roberto Clemente, George Brett, Pete Rose, Lou Gherig, Honus Wagner, Jimmie Foxx, Derek Jeter, Key Boyer, Joe Medwick, and the list goes on and on.

Are you *entirely* sure about that?

Re: Who is your starting 9 of all-time?

I'm pretty sure, it was in a book I read about him. I checked all of those stat categories and he was indeed there.

But he's the only player in the Top 50 in all categories?

And maybe he was the greatest all-around hitter of all time in the National League.
