This was not an easy thing to do. There are sooo many players that could have fit in just as easily as the one I have in there. Here are the players, along with the reasons I chose them: Sandy Koufax: The best pitcher of all time in my opinion. No one had a lower ERA at any time from 1961-1966. His career was cut short due to a bum elbow. Cy Young: All-time leader in wins and has the award for best pitcher named after him. Nuff said. Bob Gibson: Dominance in 1964 World Series was the reason Major League Baseball lowered the mound. Satchel Paige: Amazing in the Negro Leagues and even pitched a major league game at age 59. Tom Seaver: Awesome career with the Mets included 300 wins, a World Series title, and 3 Cy Youngs. Johnny Bench: Was the catcher that powered the Big Red Machine, the best team of the 70's. Won 2 World Series, 2 MVPs and 10 Gold Gloves. Lou Gehrig: The Iron Horse batted cleanup for the amazing Yanks of the 20's and 30's. Won 2 MVPs and was a 7-time All-star. Also hit for an amazing .340 career batting average. Pete Rose: All time leader in hits with over 4000. Mike Schmidt: Great thirdbaseman won 3 MVP awards. 12- time all-star and 10 gold gloves. Cal Ripken, Jr: Had 400+ Homeruns, 3000+ hits, 2 MVP awards, and a World Series ring. Ted Williams: Probably the best natural hitter of all time, the last one to hit .400 in a season. Willie Mays: Member of the 3000 hit/600 homerun club and an awesome defender, too. Roberto Clemente: Able to compile 3000 hits ...
