Ryne Sandberg, 2B. Same to you @Ben Grimm

Ryne is my favorite Cub. He retired with the most 2B dingers ever & the highest 2B FLD% ever, but barely got in by 6 votes on the 3rd ballot! There's no discrimination against players on bad teams or in small markets. I wish you heard of my pick. @Dr Pepper

Sandy Koufax, SP

Miguel Cabrera, 1B

Miguel Cabrera, 1B @Ben Grimm

If he had only DHed, his WAR would be much higher. Satchel Paige, SP @Dr Pepper

Gary Carter, C @Dr Pepper I wish you remembered the Expos.

I do, just not very well.

I saw them play the Braves in Montreal once, when I was a kid.

Here's another former Expo though:

Pedro Martinez, SP

@Ben Grimm

 

[Ben Grimm]

@Dr Pepper Pedro was crazy good. He earned more WAR than Ken Griffey, Jr in 4 years less. I tried to have a very good defensive middle infield including C, so my starters in the bottom third of my lineup compared to my bench may surprise you. I'm gonna wimp out on my last 3 picks but I'll update the OP with all 4 of yours.

Manager: Walter Alston

Lineup
LF Rickey Henderson, R
1B Stan Musial, L
CF Willie Mays, R
DH Mickey Mantle, S
RF Hank Aaron, R
3B Eddie Mathews, L
2B Roberto Alomar, S
SS Ozzie Smith, S
C Yadier Molina, R

Bench
OF Frank Robinson, R
1B Albert Pujols, R
3B Brooks Robinson, R
2B Joe Morgan. L
SS Cal Ripken Jr, R
C Gary Carter, R
