What's your MLB all-time Roster?

C) Johnny Bench
1B) Lou Gehrig
2B) Eddie Collins
3B) Mike Schmidt
SS) Honus Wagner
LF) Ted Williams
CF) Willie Mays
RF) Babe Ruth

Bench:
C) Yogi Berra
IF) Alex Rodriguez, Joe Morgan
OF) Barry Bonds, Mickey Mantle, Rickey Henderson

Rotation: Walter Johnson, Roger Clemens, Greg Maddux, Lefty Grove, Randy Johnson
Bullpen: Hoyt Wilhelm, Goose Gossage, Dennis Eckersley, Mariano Rivera. Sparky Lyle or Billy Wagner as the bullpen's token lefty, or you could move Grove or the Big Unit to the pen and have Pete Alexander or Tom Seaver as the fifth starter.

If we were to allow ***** Leaguers, Josh Gibson would be the starting catcher, bumping Bench to the bench; Satchel Paige would be the fourth/fifth starter over Grove or Johnson; and Oscar Charleston would replace either Mantle or Henderson on the bench. If you allow for a DH, then move Teddy Ballgame there and put Bonds in left.

Manager would be Earl Weaver, GM would be Branch Rickey or Ed Barrow.

Yours is pretty good but I'd make a few changes.

Switch Ty Cobb and Hank Aaron.

Add Mariano Rivera in place of Trevor Hoffman. It doesn't matter if Hoffman is the all time saves leader, Mo is much better.

Nolan Ryan was barely a .500 pitcher and walked way more guys than anybody in history. Plus he never won a Cy Young award. He shouldn't be anywhere near this team, there's at least 20 pitchers that were better. My pitchers would be 1) Walter Johnson, 2) Lefty Grove, 3) Sandy Koufax, 4) Cy Young, 5) Christy Mathewson or Warren Spahn.

On the Bench
INFS Omar Vizquel, Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace

Left handed specialists Jamie Moyer

Agree except for Hoffman, gotta go with Mo there.

edit: look at Mo's postseason ERA (0.74) and look at Hoffman's postseason ERA (3.46)
