    do you see my jesus chain

    You have one game.

    You have to put together a team of baseball players to beat my team of players. Any player that played before 1930 is not eligible. Everyone else is. The players you select are playing in their prime. Steroids don't matter. If you want 2004 Bonds in outfield over Aaron, go for it.

    CF-
    RF-
    SS-

                Baseball was a much different game back then. Most of those guys would be locks at some positions based on numbers alone even though we have never seen them play. Post '30s still has some no doubt guys but it gives more discussion.

                  Yeah, no one ever saw Lou Gehrig or Babe Ruth play.

                    Mantle over Mays?
                    Larkin over A-Rod?
                    Clemente?

                    Discuss.

                        You could argue that baseball was a much different game before they lowered the mound too.

                        I would think that including more people as possibilities would welcome more discussion.

                        I don't think that's what irish is saying.

                        How many people here actually saw Mays, Williams, Musial, Bench, Schmidt, Clemente, Mantle or Morgan play?

                        I would wager that it's a rather small percent.

                        I think making an "All-Time" list of sorts is rendered rather nutless when you want to disregard the best player ever and the best first baseman ever.

                        On top of that both Ruth and Gehrig played, and played at a high level, post-1930.

                          Which is what I was saying. That's why it's a retarded question. That and putting people at positions they never played just so you can get them in the lineup, lol.

                          I get the feeling that Irish completely lacks any kind of historical perspective.

                            Jesus Christ Lanteri is being a little cunt about this.

                            It is a game. A discussion. These are the rules. Either play by them or don't play at all.

                            Obviously Gehrig would be first base with no rules. But this game has rules. You need some guidelines to make things interesting sometimes.

                              I had this discussion with my dad and his friends on my trip to Boston last weekend. They made the rules. Most of them had seen all those players play. I just carried over the same rules. Ruth and Gehrig are not eligible because they played before 1930.
