Question

The greatest team of black players. Mine

C: Roy Campanella

1B: Willie Stargel

2B: Joe Morgan

3B: Jackie Robinson

SS: Ernie Banks

LF: Barry Bonds

CF: Willie Mays

RF: Hank Aaron

SP: Satchel Paige

SP: Bob Gibson

SP: Don Newcombee

SP: Fergie Jenkins

SP: Dwight Gooden

I know Jackie Robinson played mainly at 2nd and 1st but he did play some 3rd base

CL: Lee Smith

Answer 1

If we are talking all-time and not just major leagues, I would put Josh Gibson in at catcher, Oscar Charleston in left and Cool Papa Bell as a back-up outfielder, and I would replace Newcombe with Double Duty Radcliff.

Jackie actually had fantastic numbers defensively at third.

Answer 2

A little too racists? I agree pretty much, but that I'd take Willie McCovey over Stargell anyday.. I mean, cmon man. And take that juicer Bonds out

Answer 3

Just to put a sock in the morons calling you a racist, Do the all-French team, the all Dominican team, the all Canadian team etc.

There are a LOT of better choices at 3rd than Robinson.

Campanella was really Cuban and doesnt count.

I really hate these types of lists, far too subjective and far too many variables, and I hate separating things by race or origin, but I just had to come to your defense. I also hate people who arent racist being called racist.

Answer 4

That's discriminatory.  

Answer 5

SS: Ozzie Smith

Answer 6

great job!!!

BEST ANSWER ME!!!

Answer 7

I did a good job w/this list I think. I posted this once and it got reported so I posted w/backup. I won't give myself a best answer though.

T-Mac. I agree how could I forget McCovey. I probally should take out Bons and put in

A: Ken Griffey Jr.

B. Josh Gibson

C. Rickey Henderson

As for SS. I like Smith but Banks was a way better player

Answer 8

yeah good list. i cant argue with that.  

Answer 9

Yes, good job, go ahead and give yourself best answer but I'd put Dave Stewart instead of Satchel Paige.  Paige really has no verfiable records.
