Wagner, Clemente, Stargell, and probably Paul Waner

 

[Terry Yake]

A's

Henderson, Jackson, Eckersley, McGwire

Blue Jays: Alomar, Halladay, Steib...the fourth one you can either do Carter, Delgado, Bautista, Bell, Barfield, Moseby.

Hard to choose to be honest.

You can put Rollie Fingers in the mix as well.

[BigBadBruins7708]

Red Sox:

Williams, Fisk, Pedro, Ortiz

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Braves

Hank, Chipper, Smoltz, Cox

Tough not to have Bream, Glavine, and Greg, but can only pick 4.

Smoltz over Maddux? Maddux won 3 straight Cy Youngs with the Braves and was one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball history in his stint with the Braves. No way I take Smoltz over him and that's not a knock on Smoltz.

 

[Neutrinos]

Red Sox:

Williams, Fisk, Pedro, Ortiz

Yastrzemski has to be there. Maybe Cy Young too

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Yastrzemski has to be there. Maybe Cy Young too

its tough for sure.

Williams, Pedro and Ortiz are locked in.

Those are the 3 most recognizable, most accomplished and most important Red Sox.

the 4th spot you can easily make an argument for Yaz over Fisk.

I thought about Young, but he's too far in the past. Also really he doesn't get pictured as being part of any team. He's kind of a pitching mythical figure. Not like Ty Cobb and The Tigers

 

[Neutrinos]

Walker, Helton, Tulowitzki, Arenado

Fisk? That can't be right. Yaz? Boggs? Clemens?

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Pirates

I think I'd be tempted to put Maz up over Big Poison.

Toronto Blue Jays: Alomar, Carter, Halladay, and Bautista (HM to Bell, Delgado, Stieb and Clemens)

Boston Red Sox: Ortiz, Yaz, Pedro, and Williams

Yeah I considered Maz, Kiner, Bonds, and Cutch too, would have been nice to have someone who was active less than 40 years ago

Bonds would get a spot on my eternal **** list. How can you fail to throw out Sid Freaking Bream?

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Pirates

Wagner, Clemente, Stargell, and probably Paul Waner

Same four I'd say, none of which came anywhere near playing a game in my lifetime.

I'm happy Maz got his statue...but Waner was a better player. Gotta feel for Big Poison...the Bucs win the World Series in 1925 and Waner makes his debut the following season and instantly leads the team in most offensive categories, but the Bucs finish 3rd. He then follows that up with an MVP season that ends with a smack down by the goddamned 1927 Yankees (Waner went 5 for 15 with 3 RBIs). Those four games would be his only playoff game despite remaining one of the better players of the 30s after his string of Bonds-like MVPs in the late 20s. Those MVPs probably diffuse the Bonds argument, thankfully. I wish Cutch could have belonged there...but without that bigger success it's hard to overlook having half as many hits with the team as Big Poison. Kiner deserves to be in the conversation..but a shorter Pirates tenure than McCutchen on teams that didn't come anywhere close to competing means that Kiner's legacy is unfortunately small for what you'd expect from a guy who led the NL in home runs for his first 7 damn years.

Bonds would get a spot on my eternal **** list. How can you fail to throw out Sid Freaking Bream?

Bonds's spot in the Jagoff Rushmore is a given.

Honestly I'm not sure the Mets really have four...the two definites are Seaver and Piazza. After that it's almost a matter of preference. If you could count managers I'd put Gil Hodges up there. Doc and Darryl were certainly the biggest names and talents but yeesh. Maybe Keith cause he was the impetus for the late '80's turnaround and is a folk hero now in the booth. Jerry Koosman's a definite possibility too. I love David Wright as much as anyone but I can't put him there above guys who were on the '69-86 teams or Piazza.
