The All Time World Series Team, give us your ONE NOMINEE!

[Journeyman]

Lets see what kind of Prescription World Series team we can come up with, you get one player to nominate to the team....The player should obviously have the World Series performance credentials to back him...see if we can get a 25 man roster...

I will go first and nominate as my starting 3rd baseman Brooks Robinson...

Robinson 1970 World Series MVP...."The human vacuum cleaner" as Curt Gowdy use to say in those old World Series clips..

3rd base Brooks Robinson

Bob Gibson, who could actually pitch effectively, even dominate, on 3 days rest.

 

[Degenerate]

Pinch Hitter = Kirk Gibson

 

[Journeyman]

Hershiser single handidly won the 1988 Series for the Dodgers, well Gibby did hit a big homerun...Hershiser carried that team!

Yes there is another option...Alan Trammell(1984). Nine hits for a .450 avg. and Two, Two-run home runs in Game 4.

Mickey Lolich - This FAT tub of lard won THREE games in the 1968 World Series, including Game 7 on TWO days rest against BOB GIBSON.

 

[wilheim]

Won: game 1 and 4 in 63 (Dodger sweep), and won: games 5 and 7 (on 2 days rest) in 1965 Dodger Series win in 7 games. All complete games, 3 of them shutouts. BTW. Game 7 of the 65 series, a 3 hit shutout of the Twins was Koufax's last game. Can you imagine a guy today throwing 2 shutouts in 4 days in the World Series? Oct. 11th 1965 4 hit shutout, Dodgers win game five 7-0, Oct. 14th 1965, 3 hit shutout, Dodgers win game seven, 2-0. A few more Koufax tidbits: From 1961 to 1966, he was close to perfection. His .733 winning percentage was complemented by a record five consecutive N.L. ERA titles, one league MVP, three Cy Young Awards, four strikeout titles and key roles in three pennants and two World Series championships. Koufax also fired a then-career record four no-hitters, including a 1965 perfect game against the Chicago Cubs.

Roberto Clemente,the greatest rightfielder of play the game.
