My ultimate baseball team (Gary Carter's LI Ducks blog)

BY GARY CARTER

Dawn recently asked me in the comment section which players throughout the history of baseball I would pick to build the ultimate baseball team. I would go with six different players in the outfield. Babe Ruth, Henry Aaron, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Frank Robinson.

At first base, Willie McCovey, Willie Stargell, Lou Gehrig and Eddie Murray, who I went into the Hall of Fame with.

Second base would be Joe Morgan, Ryne Sandberg and Jeff Kent.

Definitely Ozzie Smith and Omar Vizquel at shortstop. Vizquel is deserving of the Hall of Fame too.

Third base I would say Mike Schmidt, Brooks Robinson and George Brett.

At catcher, Carlton Fisk, Johnny Bench, Yogi Berra and yours truly. I never got to see Roy Campanella, but he would be right there too.

Pitchers, there are a ton of them, but Cy Young, Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver, Greg Maddux and Steve Carlton for sure. Carlton was absolutely filthy. Relievers are Bruce Sutter, Goose Gossage and Trevor Hoffman. Hoffman has been unreal.

I'm surprised to see Jeff Kent over Pete Rose at 2B and Omar Vizquel over Cal Ripken or Derek Jeter at SS.

If you had to pick one (current) manager to run a young and upcoming ball club - who would it be?

Gary you'd pick Hoffman over Mariano Rivera?

Thanks for answering. I found your reply interesting. I agree with jrj about Jeter though. He is amazing !

Sorry. The price one pays for pursuing any profession or calling is an intimate knowledge of its ugly side. Help me! Looking for sites on: Commercial travelers insurance. I found only this - merged with Travelers in 1998. Each individual is different from one another that is why you need to be really careful in choosing the pheromone perfume that will suit you best. In buying a pheromone perfume, simply picking out one is not enough. Waiting for a reply :mad:, Scarlett from France.
