In the wake of nothing new happening in the world of sports, I've seen some discussions regarding the best all time lineup. One game takes all, no DH. I'd be interested in seeing some teams.
I've picked some historic players, but I'm relatively young so I have some recency bias. I also believe newer players are much better all around athletes and are competing at a higher level, but that's a different discussion.
Here's my lineup:
1. Ichiro RF
2. Mike Trout CF
3. Barry Bonds LF
4. Albert Pujols 1B
5. Alex Rodriguez SS
6. Chipper Jones 3B
7. Ivan Rodriguez C
8. Roger Hornsby 2B
9. Bob Gibson SP
Closer: Mariano Rivera
Let's here what you guys think.
