Mickey Mantle (CF)

16-time all star. Fair effort.
Whoops. Nolan Ryan.
These are probably my two favorite ball-players ever. Mantle, as legendary as he was, never realized his full potential due to his alcoholism. Ryan finished his career with my Texas Rangers and gave the team legitimacy when he signed with them. When he was on his game, I don’t think there was a more dominant pitcher (as evident by the 7 no-hitters).

Eddie Collins (2B) and Bob Gibson (SP)

Gibson was as intimidating a pitcher as they come. My starting pitching of Walter Johnson, Cy Young, and Bob Gibson is simply bad ass. :cool:

Collins has a case to be the greatest second baseman ever. He's 10th on the all-time hit list, 13th in OBP, 7th in stolen bases, and batted an awesome .333 for his career.

I'll raise you Glavine, Maddux, Spahn and Ryan. One more SP then a closer and :cool:.
Had a feeling it might be him.

I'd say Johnson and Young > Glavine and Maddux. I would concede that Ryan > Gibson, though both are similar in style and dominance. So I still take my rotation over yours. It's all a matter of preference though of course. :)

Said mine over yours purely on the fact I had 4 quality pitchers to your 3.
