Pete Rose is on the team. I list him as 25th man, but only because I knew he was on and I saved him for the end because he can play any position. That's why I only have one First Baseman to keep it to 25 players.
I looked at Palmero and I could have made a mistake, but it looked like on over 5 All Star Games and career runs scored it was Todd Helton. You have to admit, Todd Helton could flat out hit.
To those mad that I'm using the steroid guys. I said I tried not using them and I could not make a list. I discovered I don't know who used them and who just never got caught. I'm not a sports media person and truth be known, those guy's don't know either.
I wanted Concepcion and Nettles and Pinson and others. I just came up with a system of how to pick them and let the chips fall where they may. There is one flaw and that is I don't have a true CF. I could take off Sosa and add a true CF and that person could be Vada Pinson or Al Oliver, maybe.
I like the names you people are coming up with, and going into 4th of July and All-Star Game it was what I was hoping for. That some of you would come up with names. I left off Steve Garvey, which killed me. Tony Oliva another. Schilling and Tiant. Nobody will mention Ken Boyer at Third, but he was good. Sam McDowell was tough. I left off 2 great catchers in Freehan and Parrish. My 6 starting pitchers do have the most Quality Innings not to be in HOF.
So 25 names leaves out many names. Keep adding names to this. I want to hear your players.
