My Best Rob Neyer Impression:

May as well make it two days in a row, since I am sick of staring at NMR spectra for the evening. This is something I put together this summer during a weekend spent at the lab. Being the huge baseball fan and historian that I am, and given that it was around the all-star game, I decided a good way to kill the time would be to come up with all-time allstar teams for both the National and American Leagues. Groundrules are the same as current allstar teams: Roster size is 32 and every current franchise must be represented (Note that the franchise is what's important...thus Washington Senators (the 1st version) count as Minnesota Twins, Philadelphia Athletics as Oakland A's, etc. So here they are, my alltime allstar teams:

National League:

Starters:

C: Johnny Bench - Cincinnati Reds
1B: Mark McGwire - St. Louis Cardinals
2B: Rogers Hornsby - St. Louis Cardinals
3B: Mike Schmidt - Philadelphia Phillies
SS: Honus Wagner - Pittsburgh Pirates
OF: Willie Mays - San Francisco Giants
OF: Barry Bonds - San Francisco Giants
OF: Stan Musial - St. Louis Cardinals
SP: Christy Mathewson - San Francisco (New York) Giants

Reserves:
C: Mike Piazza - New York Mets
C: Gary Carter - Montreal Expos
1B: Todd Helton - Colorado Rockies
1B: Jeff Bagwell - Houston Astros
2B: Jackie Robinson - Los Angeles (Brooklyn) Dodgers
2B: Joe Morgan - Cincinnati Reds
3B: Mike Lowell - Florida Marlins
SS: Ernie Banks - Chicago Cubs
SS: Robin Yount - Milwaukee Brewers
OF: Hank Aaron - Atlanta (Milwaukee) Braves
OF: Frank Robinson - Cincinnati Reds
OF: Roberto Clemente - Pittsburgh Pirates
OF: Tony Gwynn - San Diego Padres
SP: Bob Gibson - St. Louis Cardinals
SP: Sandy Koufax - Los Angeles Dodgers
SP: Mordecai "Three-Finger" Brown - Chicago Cubs
SP: Grover Alexander - Philadelphia Phillies
SP: Steve Carlton - Philadelphia Phillies
SP: Tom Seaver - New Y0rk Mets
SP: Randy Johnson - Arizona Diamondbacks
SP: Warren Spahn - Atlanta (Milwaukee/Boston) Braves
SP: Greg Maddux - Atlanta Braves
CL: Bruce Sutter - Chicago Cubs

Wow that took way longer than I thought it would...I'll do the American League tomorrow
