Answer 2

Brooks Robinson,  just a joy to watch the perrennial        

            gold-glover re-invent  the position

Sparkey Anderson,  intelligent manager.  Mack's longevity came from owning the team

Jackie Robinson Or Roger Hornsby,  Too close to call

Roger Maris,  Yankee fans never appreciated what they had

            Plus, I really don't consider pre-1900 guys

Don Mattingly,  But I'd rather have Keith Hernandez

Eddie Murray, Easiest choice on the list

Gaylord Perry,  I like Marichal better, but I can't forgive

             him   the Roseboro incident.

Hack Wilson,  191 RBI's in a season.  Need I say more?

Eddie Mathews, give up .017 in BA for 700RBI's and 480 HR's.

Lou Brock ,  go with the speed

Tony Gywnn,  Another close call between two classy and      

               classic players

Kirby Puckett,  despite all the good years in Boston the

                indelible image I havce of him is on horseback in

                Yankee stadium

Mike Schmidt, can't go wrong with either pick. Schmidt was

                 the best third baseman the NL ever had.

Robin Yount,  much better hitter

Rickey Henderson,  I don't know anyone who liked playing

                more than him.  Last i heard he was in some semi

                proleague waiting for a September call

Jeff Bagwell,  Bags, because I am stsrting to get tired of all

               these choices

Johnny Bench,  Best catcher of the era, maybe all time

Al Kaline,  Not really fair because of the injury

Ryne Sandberg, a more complete player

Dwight Evans,  just a gem in right

Boog Powell,  I don't know Hancock, but Boog was very

                good.  He had prescence

Tom Seaver,  I can't pick against The Franchise

.

Jimmie Foxx Or Willie McCovey,  Again, too close to call.  

                 I'd find room on my team for both.

Lou Gehrig,  Not meant to slight Ruth, but Gehrig was huge.

                  I picked him despite the deifying movie

Hank Aaron,  I named my cat after him

Sandy Koufax,  Don't go there, Ryan simply isn't in the elite

                 class

Bob Gibson,  1967 WS.  Three starts, three complete

                 games, three wins, three runs, fourteen hits.

                  Broke my heart.

Ernie Banks,  Back in the sixties, even bad teams had Hall of Fame players on them

Stan Musial,  he had an edge in power

Fergie Jenkins,  same as Banks, same team even

Willie Mays, and not because he refused to play on a

                Holiday,  Mays was the best I've ever seen.

Roberto Clemente Or Ted Williams,  I won't pick between

                two of my all time favorites

Mickey Mantle,  I wish he hadn't played that last season and

               lost his career .300

This took a long time, hope your happy!
