The All Time Best Baseball Team

[irul&ublo]

Cause A Rod plays third base? If hes not the best SS on his team, hes not the best ever. But I see your point, for his prime he was probably better than Ripken.

EDIT- and he's a pussy choke artist and noone wants him on their all-time team.

A-Rod broke in at ss and played there until he came to the Yankees. He was at least as good of a glove as Jeter.

And don't give me that choke shit...the only reason the Yankees have a shot at the post season is because Arod, Posada and Jeter carried them through the all star break.

[MassLiberal]

A Rod was a much better glove than Jeter, Derek is not a good SS.

And I agree with you, Your crazy if you don't A rod for SS

[Art Shirk]

I hate him with a passion BUT, with some question of who really would be the best DH in this thread, is there a reason why the man with the most runs scored in history, most stolen bases, most lead off homers, 2nd most walks ever and who is 20th on the all time hits list, is not even mentioned??

Plus he talks in the third person all the time, which is really cool.

[CRACKER]

Was Ricky a DH?

[Jackie Treehorn]

Juice or no Juice? Are we racing Cigarette Boats?

Irod is a fucking hack.

Robbie Alomar, Omar Vizquel, and Robin Ventura have absolutely no business being mentioned either.

In his prime (which doesn't last that long for a catcher), IRod was fucking nasty, both offensively and defensively. So was Alomar. Did you just start watching baseball 5 years ago?

Listen to the man. He may have three nipples but he speaks the truth. Alomar was an all around great player. A 5 tool infielder. And I ROD is a great great catcher- at worst the second best ever to Bench, but I wouldnt think youre nuts if you have I ROD first

And Rickey Henderson is top 20 all time, but hes not better than Mays Williams Bonds. Plus, who doesnt love Rickey.

[Danno]

1B Gerhig
2B Rogers Hornsby
SS ARod
3B Mike Schmidt
LF Barry
CF Mays
RF Ruth
C Bench
DH Edgar Martinez

RP Pedro
LP Big Unit
RP Mariano

If I am not restricted to positions they actually "played", I'd drop Edgar and pick up Ted Williams.

And if I had to fill a 5 man rotation, I'd add Koufax, Gibson, and Maddux. I love Ryan, but he just doesn't belong in that rotation. I hate Clemens' steroid using ass, and Tom Seaver also falls just short.

[Danno]

C- Carlton Fisk
1B- Lou Gerhig
2B- Robbie Alomar
3B- Robin Ventura
SS- Cal Ripken Jr
OUTFIELD-- Pete Rose, Willie Mays, Jim Edmonds
DH- David Ortiz
SP- Randy Johnson
CL- Mariano Rivera

and im not taking shit for Fisk or Ventura.... "I'm a Chicagoan, til Chicago ends, til we blow like Chicago winds..."

ok, but can we give you shit for Pete Rose and Jim Edmonds?

[Odin]

Was Ricky a DH?

Ricky was everything that a man could be, ricky was ricky and nobody was ricky like ricky. He even out rickied himself, and ricky ricardo, and ricky rathman.

He was THE RICKY, and we shall never see another like him.

And for old times sake.. oddibe mcdowel. <-- worse baseball card ever (other than pete rose - manager)

[iceman]

C - Fisk
1B - Jimmy Foxx
2B - Bobby Doerr
3B - Wade Boggs
SS - Joe Cronin (I wouldn't mind Burleson though)
LF - Yaz
CF - Williams (sorry Ted but Yaz ruled the Green Monster)
RF - Dwight Evans
LHP - Lefty Grove
RHP - Cy Young
Reliever - Eckersley

What?

If you think the reason ARod is playing third base is because he's not the best SS on his team, you're delusional.

I think there is a pattern with Icemangs list....... Somehow.... somewhere....

my first thought is it might be the all time best team of players never to win a World Series, but then I realized Eckersley won with the A's.

Ouch.

[Odin]

Ankiel and Bonds go together like Track marks and ....... arms? Shoulders? Asses?

[Danno]

don't forget Troy Glaus!

[Odin]

Oh that guy....

The worst part about this for ankiel is losing the movie rights.

Dang it all.
