    C Roger Bresnahan (Invented the art of catching along with most of the gear used still used today)

    1B Lou Gehrig (A pretty impressive streak and yankee pinstripes)

    2B Jackie Robinson (Forever changed the history of all sports)

    SS The Wizard of Oz (Ozzie Smith-A defensive wiz)

    3B Brooks Robinson (Gold Glove 3b with some pop in his bat)

    OF Ted Williams (2654 hits, 521 HRs, and 709 k's in 7706 abs, o yeah he also fought three years in WWII and missed another two years in 1952-1953 as a marine fighter pilot in the korean wars)

    OF Mickey Mantle (Solidified the Yankees position as the strongest dynasty)

    OF Babe Ruth (Changed all of baseball with one swing, actually 714 swings, of the bat)

    SP Nolan Ryan (300+ wins, 5714 K's, and a lifetime ERA of 3.19, sorry Mr. Young and Mr. Feller, Ryan's stats are much more impressive in the live ball era...)

    RP Trevor Hoffman (457 svs...including this year, and he still has a good 4 or 5 years left in him...do not be surprised to see him elected first ballot with his 500 svs

    The Skipper: Connie Mack (No worries about him switching to a big time rival...he knows the game and can manage a team and a stadium)

    GM: Bill Veeck (C'mon a little fun?)

    and Umpire Bill Klem (Most feared/respected by players and fans alike)
