Mike Green had a great idea over in another thread, I'm taking the liberty of opening a new thread, and pasting his comment here to get us started. Mike Moffatt, don't forget to put your team in here.
"On a lighter note, here's a challenge for Bauxites. Bill James said in about 1984 that Bill Russell would play shortstop for the "all-initial" team. The Babe would pitch and bat clean-up. He also thought that the JC team would be awfully good.
Now, it looks to me like the RC team would pretty tough: Clemens, Campanella, Carty, Carew, Ray Chapman, Cey, Colavito, Clemente and Roger Cedeno (I guess).
The BB team would have Bonds, Bonds, Bobby Bonilla and Bill Buckner, and a heckuva GM, but I can't fill out the rest of the lineup off hand.
Any other nominations for the all-initial team?"
Thanks Mike!
