My All-Time Baseball Team

[007mugabi]

You pick a tough team,but I gotta have Brooks at third,and Koufax on the mound.

[Sugalean]

The All Time winning-est pitcher is not on team in Walter Johnson? May want to re-think that one.

Hard to argue. Freakin' great squad.  . .

[WeLoveTswizzle13]

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING MIKE SCHMIT OVER BROOKS ROBINSON, PETE ROSE OVER JACKIE ROBINSON, AND CAL RIPKEN JR OVER HONUS WAGNER. AND WHERE IS TY COBB IN THIS LIST HES ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS OF ALL TIME. AND CLEMENT OVER MICKEY MANTLE. PLUS SATCHEL PAIGE WAS THE BEST PITCHER OF ALL TIME. IT SHOULD GO

1. SATCHEL PAIGE

2. CY YOUNG

3. WALTER JOHNSON

4. SANDY KOUFAX

5. NOLAN RYAN

[beevomyman]

ty cobb



[famand86]

i would pick cobb over any1. alot was obviously debatable i wouldnt have tom seaver pick some bench players and id b happier!

[airsoftguy20]

replace Seaver and put in Walter Johnson and what about Randy? put im instead of stachel. Second Base is rodgers hornsby by far!!! Cal Ripken for SS? HOW ABOUT HONUS WAGNER!!! Where is ty cobb in ur OF? Joe Dimmagio? The Mick? COMMON!

[ruffomaldito]

Strange that Ty Cobb was not included. He has highest hitting average of all time. A place hitter, base runner and stealer like no other, and a personality as strong as Babe Ruth. You can´t talk about baseball and records wihtout including him.

[sixstrings2]

I would take Mickey Mantle over Roberto Clemente

[socalscottie80s]

I'll take George Brett over both of them!!!

[EricAnno]

Wow, what a terrible list.

[TheCumshot666]

All time first baseman Vic Power wtf??Are you smokin too much Eggnog dude?How about Keith Hernandez,Don Mattingly or JD Snow at first base for defense???Or even Gil Hodges or Wes Parker are better than Vic Power.

[lapicacamuy]

my all defensive team C Ivan Rodriguez, Pit. Greg Maddux,1b Vic Power,2b Roberto Alomar,3b Brooks Robinson,ss Ozzie Smith,outfield Roberto Clemente,Ken Griffeyjr,Willie Mays.

[budsaplenty]

Close but no ciggy for you......

[yakyakyakful]

Johnny Bench was Baseball biggest gay player of all time,many ex Red players talked of  "Riding the Bench"....Dick Pole was also a very gay athlete..as was Brady Anderson,Tom Timmerman,Fred Gladding,Tom Satriano,George Theodore and Bill Laxton.

[cucumberinmypants]

Baseballs all time faggott team would also have to include Brady Anderson,Alan Wiggins,Ed Stroud,Wally Joyner,Lenny Dykstra,Johnny Damon,George Theoedore,Rich Folkers,Gene tenace,Mickey Rivers,Gates Brown,Ron LeFlore,Chico Salmon,Pepper Martin,Dick Drago,Don Stanhouse,Denny mcLain,Billy Baldwin,Paul Dade,Willie Mays Aikins,Vida Blue,Bert Blyleven,Jody Davis,Glen Hubbard and the biggest faggott in Baseball history Dave King Kong Kingman who once sang as a backup with the original Village people!

[SBS7995]

SP- Cy Young or Bob Gibson RP- Dennis Eckersley CP- Fransico Rodriguez C- Yadier Molina (don't judge until you've seen some of his pick-offs) 1B- Albert Pujols 2B- Pete Rose or Jackie Robinson 3B- Mike Schmidt SS- Ozzie Smith LF- Stan Musial CF- Willie Mays RF- Roberto Clemante (optional) DH- Henry (Hank) Aaron

[peteperrin]

nice

[SuperJarret]

now sbs7995 has a real good one yadier molina has the best arm in baseball right now for a catcher cause he makes people look foolish on his pickoffs

[EricAnno]

Not really a great team.

Why the hell would you pick K-Rod over Eck? Cy Young and Gibson over Maddux, Martinez, Clemens, R. Johnson, Lefty Grove, and Walter Johnson? Yadier (good defensively, bad offensively) over Bench, Berra, Dickey, and Cochrane? Pete and Jackie over Rajah and Joe Morgan? Ozzie Smith (terrible offensively) over Alex Rodriguez and Honus Wagner? Stan Musial over Barry Bonds?

Terrible list full of mistakes.

[cucumberinmypants]

Baseballs all time worst hair team would include Oscar Gamble,Bud Selig,Joe Pepitione,Mark Fidrych,Joe Sparma,Jack Aker,Tony Solaita,Lonnie Smith,Alan Wiggins,Sid Bream and Denny Neagle.

[cucumberinmypants]

Baseballs all time "Faggot team" is as follows: Catcher:Johnny Bench 1st base"Steve Garvey 2nd base"Roberto Alomar Shortstop:Bucky Dent 3rd base:Robin Ventura OF:Glenn Burke OF:John "The Hammer "Milner OF:Tony or Billy Conigliaro(both fags) P:Dick Pole P: Phil Ortega P: Blue Moon odam Pinch hitter Mike piazza Manager Mayo Smith Coach Lee Mazzilli

[D7a7v9e7]

mike schmidt was the best 3rd baseman ever no1 could beat him

[MrHippoDick]

Wait a minute Johnny Bench was a great pitcher as well as a receiver...Liberace said that in a Las Vegas hotel room one morning that johnny Bench and Jim nabors threw a all Gay men hottub party for him and Johnny could really "Field some Balls accross his chest".

[notoriousbig100]

shit thats pretty good. i would make a couple changes. starting pitching: Walter Johnson, Satchel Paige, Cy Young. catcher: Bob Gibson. 2nd: Stan Musial. SS: Honus Wagner

[GeoBomb]

I have to say you missed out on one of the greatest players of all time, Stan Musial. The man could hit homers, hit for average, steal a little bit, leg out some triples, and boy could he play some defense also. He was baseball's perfect warrior.

[burgersap]

great team. I think that Rivera and Schmidt should be out, but I love the inclusion of Rose. too many people forget what a great player he was.

[merrijayne4]

who other than schmidt??!! 548 homers 8 time nl home run leader, 10 gg's 3 mvps, and a WS mvp! If not him who?

[Rockopeetzee]

I don't like comparing sports era's but do at times..If you're a real good athlete you could play in any era..IE:Seaver,Gibson,Ryan,Kof­ax

Aaron,Williams,Mays..just to name a few.

Babe was the Greatest thing that happened to Ball, but it would be iffy,him making it today.

[whatislove37]

The only thing I would argue over is  Mariano Rivera...Great Pitcher No doubt but I dont think he was the best...For instance one player who would be better is Tom Seaver...But even still great job you really picked a good team!

[raidersbaseball3]

if the modern players played with these old timers the modern guys would be way better. For instance, if lou gerig played today albert puhols would be much better

[GLazz85]

Thats a good team. For myself I want the toughest guys possible who give 100% at all times and have a chip on their shoulder. C- Carlton Fisk-Original Pudge 1B- Lou Gehrig-Iron Man 2B- Jackie Robinson- Tough in adversity SS- Cal Ripken Jr- New Iron Man 3B- Pete Rose- Charlie Hustle OF Ted WIlliams- Went to WWII in his prime OF TY Cobb- sharpened his spikes! OF Roberto Clemente- Only nice guy on the list DH- Babe Ruth- Not tough but a legend SP- Bob Gibson- Toughest MLB player ever.

[homer63109]

I am convinced Nolan Ryan juiced and got out before all the shit went down. Bob Gibson pitched the finest season in all of major league history in 1968. Tom Seaver over Satchiel Paige hands down. I am old enough to have seen both of the these guys pitch, not just on TV either.

[EricAnno]

Gibson's 1968 season is "the finest season in all of major league history"?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahaha!

That's a good one. I thought you were serious for a second.

[trueleroix]

How could you laugh at that? Who had a better one?

[EricAnno]

Pedro Martinez in 2000, Greg Maddux in 1994 and 1995, Walter Johnson in 1913, and that's just going by ERA+.

Yes, I know that Gibson's ERA was 1.12, and yes, I know that seems incredible. The National League hit just .243 and OPSed just .641. The average NL ERA was 2.99. There is a reason why Gibson has this ultra-low ERA but just the eighth greatest ERA+ ever. If you adjust Gibson's stats to the 2000 Boston Red Sox that Martinez played for, the stats don't look as great.

[NHSKBIGMIKE]

mattewson my bad typo

[NHSKBIGMIKE]

great list besides satchel Paige i think its perfect christy matthews is better

[swordmeister93]

ty cobb=wayyyyyy better than clemente despite clemente's unfortunate career and life ending accident. R.I.P. Roberto

[exile103]

Cobb's defense couldn't compare to Clemente's, nor was he near the athlete Clemente was. Plus, he was a major asshole.

[swordmeister93]

he may have been an asshole but he knew how to play the game he was a better hitter, stole more bases and was voted to the hall of fame over Babe Ruth now that's incredible.

[chalouxjohn]

roy  campanella ??

thats questionable

Nolan Ryan Satchel Paige and even Cy Young are questionable too

and I would put Ted williams on that list too

but thats just me

[jdsoultrn]

Solid list of all-time greats!!

[MattyBoyCMS]

I think Walter Johnson and Christy Matthewson are both better than Tom Seaver and Satchel Paige, but it is your list

[chalouxjohn]

I agree with you

[dirtyharrysfpd]

Gotta get Nolan Ryan and his no hitters in there (along with beating charging batsmen half his age into the ground) Ken Griffey JR, Joe Morgan, Randy Johnson, Bruce Sutter, and for show and tell..... Al the mad hungarian Hrbowsky

[BobGibsonFan]

Great picks man, I agree with most...but my opinio and everyone elses shouldn't matter...this is YOUR all time team, and no one should disagree with you, ya know what I mean? GREAT PICKS!!!

[ipunchouthorses]

nolan ryan???????

[soupysoup56]

Hank Aaron?

[momonator21]

Peut-être 1 oublié : Yogi Berra.Pour le reste je suis d'accord à 100%

[yahriel1210]

Roberto Clemente is the best!!!!

[Milordvega]

Good list, and I like how you chose outfielders properly according to position: Williams in left, Mays in center and Clemente in right, instead of just putting in 3 outfielders regardless of where they specifically played. Ruth would be awesome as a DH. If I had to put in someone who really played in the DH area and was DH, I could put in Edgar Martinez, Paul Molitor of Frank Hurt.

Just two comments:

1. Pete Rose played 2nd only at the start of his career.

2. No lefty reliever?

[SLagonia]

Decent list. I can't really do too much complaining, even if they weren't the same players I'd pick. The one thing I will say is you should forget about picking legitimate right, center and left fielders and just pick the best three outfielders. It's too hard to choose between Mays and Mantle, so just take both of them.

[giligaflig]

wat about nolan ryan?

[giligaflig]

nolan ryan?

[yomamadontdanz]

of any team in the majors,and it wasnt even close.Had he not stopped Bench,Rose,Perez,Lee may,Hal Mcrae,Helm,Concepcion,Tolan,Ca­rbo,and the rest of the big red machine they would have made that series a slugfest,but Brooks great defense turned 5 run innings into zero run innings.While on offense he hit 400 with a series 5 game record for total bases and rbi's.The phillies won the world tital this year without Mike Schmidt,the Orioles are so pathetic since Brooks retired they finished last again.

[yomamadontdanz]

Mike schmidt was great no question,i just think defence is under rated in baseball and yes schmidt was a great defensive 3rd baseman.But Brooks Robinson wasin the words of Casey Stengel "The best clutch hitter in baseball" from 1960 to 71.Look at his RBIs almost 1400,same as Schmidt or very close???His Rbis were mostly clutch Rbi's,6th inning all.Schmidt got alot of Rbis hitting 3 run dingers.How about this statistic,from 1958 to 1975 when Brooks Robinson was at third,his team won the most games

[gtownhoyas555]

i see

[EricAnno]

"Look at his RBIs almost 1400, same as Schmidt or very close???"

Wrong. Brooks drove in 1,358, not even close to 1,400 and certainly nowhere near Schmidt's 1,595.

"His Rbis were mostly clutch Rbi's,6th inning all."

Wrong. Only 40% of Brooks RsBI came in the 6th inning or later. Nowhere near "mostly".

"Schmidt got alot of Rbis hitting 3 run dingers."

That's a bad thing?

How 'bout this statistic. With 2 outs and RISP, Schmidt had a .905 OPS to Brooks' lowly .717.

[yomamadontdanz]

Brooks rob inson makes one of his increable plays pn the first inning with the bases loaded and one out,turning a potential 3 run double into a 7-4-3 doubleplay inning ended.If he dosnt rob the other team that hit may have resulted in a ten run inning!We'll never know?But if you make an error that prolongs an inning like Bill Buckner or the bartman fiasco,look at how one error can cause a team a championship?Yet Alex Rodriguez is a notorious choke artist in Big games only drives in the pile ons.

[yomamadontdanz]

Baseball you win with pitching and defence,give meBrooks Robinson at 3rd base and u can have Mike Schmidt.Brooks play at the hot corner is shut down 100%,nobody could bunt or hit the ball by him,and when you see what he did in the 1970 world series to the Big red machine he did this for 23 seasons.When you make a great defensive play it dosnt show up in the boxscore,but when you make an error it does.Brooks makes a great game saving defensive play so often the Team he played for won 90-100 game

[gtownhoyas555]

okay i agree that Brooks was the best defensive thirdbaseman ever to play the game but Mike Schmidt was no slouch, he did win 10 Gold Glove awards at that position and had a bigger bat

[yomamadontdanz]

My manager would be Linda Lovelace.She may blow a few,but she would never choke on the big ones!

[AlamoSoldier]

You forgot John Kruk!

[MetsWhiteSoxRays]

WTF?

[Twinsboy000]

mine would be Sp-Koufax,walter Johnson,Bob feller C-bench 1b-Gehrig 2b-Robinson SS-Wagner Lf-Clemente Cf-mantle rf-nelie Fox or XXX Reliver -Eckersley -hoyt wilhelm -Lefty groove closer wierd but Bob gibson

[sicariomatalobo]

right now, at this time and age,any team, can beat any allstar team from the xx century, in that age didnot exist the rivals and all the tecnologic to know the players, the baseball sports is in evolution, if you whant to know what type of evolution i am talking, just see vladimir guerrero strong, arm, swing, and other is A-Rod, his swing is the best swing ever

[Supermopho]

I would have Yogi Berra at catcher, Jackie Robinson at 2nd, Honus Wagner at Short, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Ty Cobb as out fielders. Nolan Ryan, Walter Johnson, and Christy Mathewson at starting pitching and put Paige an Seaver as Relivers and Trevor Hoffman as closer insted of Mariano Rivera. Drop Eckersley, Goose Since they both are closers and put Dizzy Dean, Lefty Grove and Warren Spahn and Bob Feller. That Would be my team.

[SlayerInBlood]

awe! you poor baby

well that jerk would help your all-time team a lot!

[gtownhoyas555]

The contest was to have the team most likely to form a dynasty, and there's no way in my opinion that a team with someone like him could do it.

[MetsWhiteSoxRays]

ty cobb was not as big a jerk as pete rose is. but great countdown and i wrote WTF because someone wrote to put john kruk! good list

[gtownhoyas555]

naw man ty cobb was ten times worse than rose

[MetsWhiteSoxRays]

well ok but idk how anyone would know that or still remember that lol

[gtownhoyas555]

just read a biography or something else about him and you'd agree

[SlayerInBlood]

sorry Rickey Henderson is the base running king but anyway....

Roberto Clemente has exactly 3,000 hits not over

Babe Ruth has 714 home runs not 715

Honus Wagner should be the Short Stop and....

ROGERS HORNSBY should but the 2nd baseman....Hornsby only had 9 long and healthy seasons and he still ended his career with 2,930 hits, he also had 301 home runs (impressive for a 2nd baseman) and a batting average of .358 and got 200 or more hits in a season 7 times, batted over .400 3 times!

[SlayerInBlood]

good video but your missing an AMAZING player........TY COBB!

Pete Rose had to stretch out his career in order to pass up Cobb in career hits. Cobb's still the best ever at getting base hits and running the bases, He also had a batting average of over .300 for 20 (100 or more game)seasons of his career, stole home plate 54 times, got 200 or more hits for the whole season 9 times, won 12 batting titles, has 724 career doubles, 295 career triples and was the first player to reach 2,000 runs.

[gtownhoyas555]

he was too big of a jerk

[EAGLESLOSE914]

cool vid dude

[gtownhoyas555]

thx bro.

[thepackermen13]

3rd base should be josh gibson the best hr hitter ever 800 plus home runs, one leaving yankee stadium

[gtownhoyas555]

Gibson was actually a catcher and I did consider him, but I thought of Bench as the best catcher ever.

[thepackermen13]

what about 3rd base

[dhughess]

The shortstop should be Honus Wagner. Where is Walter Johnson?

[kSnoop]

Where the fuck is Daryl Strawberry. Your an idiot.

[gtownhoyas555]

haha good one

[treehawker13]

Everyone who is worrying about Nolan Ryan not being on the list is retarded howsa bout the fact that Ty Cobb is not on the list..... He has the highest lifetime batting average ever with .367 he is 2nd all time in hits. Also in the last two games of Ty's Career he switched his split hand grip to holding the bat normally at the end of the handle and he hit 5 home runs in 2 games, He holds 12 batting crowns and stole 96 bases in a season... And this man is not in your top all time outfielder list

[gtownhoyas555]

he was too big of a jerk to be put on my team.

[tb4c59]

would definilty have nolan ryan in starting line up, and goose gossage isnt even in the top 20 in all time saves, what about trevor hoffman or billy wagner

[gtownhoyas555]

I just thought of Goose as a better pitcher than the other two. Gossage pitched 2 or 3 inning saves, so that stat is a little misleading in my opinion.

[borat1301]

really he is the greatest closer he is 3rd All time in saves but i agree he is a great closer but not the greatest

[borat1301]

I definitely think you should've put in nolan ryan but why is mariano in there

[ElTiant]

Because he is probably the greatest closer of all time.

[kSnoop]

Song sucks. Your an idiot. No wait you were a waste of nut. That's right your dad didn't mean for you to even happen. That is why we all got fucked. Because he couldn't find a size small enough to cap his tip. Oh wait that is you...fuckin tard.

[gtownhoyas555]

Dude you seriously have some problems because you waste your time trashing my vid. please get a different hobby. If you don't care what I think, do you really think I care what you think? I hate all you cock suckers who devote their lives to tell everyone that he is god. I disagree. big deal. go cry about it, you moron.

[kSnoop]

Best vid ever.......except where is Nolan Ryan??? Did you forget about the best pitcher of all time?

[kSnoop]

Vid is gay. Try again when you gain a true IQ of baseball.

[kSnoop]

Who in the hell cares what you think? I don't. You don't put Nolan Ryan in and your intelligence is shown. Your not the one who picks the best. The best are in the hof. Um yeah Ryan got elected. No matter what you thought.  Your insignificant. And your vid is ameature at best. Grow a brain before you make another vid. Then you won't get hassled because you forgot somebody. If he wasn't so good then so many of us wouldn't fuck with telling you that your an idot for not puttin him in it!

[kSnoop]

OK??? So you don't see anything or any reason to put Nolan Ryan in this? Lol you must be the dumbest prick in the history of youtube vids. Dennis Eckersly!! Your a joke man. Nolan Ryan is the best pitcher in the history of the game. Fuck stats. Fuck you.  I'll bet he could still out pitch half of the league till this very day you idiot.

[gtownhoyas555]

stats don't lie, bro. I made my case. But what is wrong with Eckersley? any reliever who wins an MVP should be on there.

[zackthatyouknew]

nolan ryan only won about half of his games... not only does he hold the strikeout record, but he holds the walks record. when he was on, yes... he was damn good, but he wasnt always on.

[colbypeace19]

great list but you know every1 has to argue something lol love bob gibson but...nolan ryan? im still thinking bout shortstop...it would help if there were clips of honus wagner

[markmogensen]

Dude what about Nolan Ryan #1 all-time in strike outs

[ddenuci]

gtown: Nice job, but here is the correct list: (SP) Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Sandy Koufax, and Bob Gibson. (Roger Clemens would be there, but for that little issue). (RP) Dennis Eckersley, Mariano Rivera (C) Johnny Bench, (1B) Lou Gehrig, (2B) Rogers Hornsby, (SS) Honus Wagner, (3B) Alex Rodriquez, (OF) Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Willie Mays. (DH) Ted Williams (Bonds makes it if performance enhancement athletes are allowed).

[ddenuci]

Here's the justification for Rogers Hornsby: lifetime ave of .358 is second only to Cobb, and highest in NL. He batted .424 in 1924. He won two triple crowns. Over a 5 year period, he AVERAGED .402. Now, granted, batting averages from that era need to be discounted somewhat, but Hornsby won seven NL batting titles. So, forget about the actual batting average number, he nevertheless was the best hitter in that era. No other second baseman can make that claim. And he also hit 301 hrs.

[lawbeach]

the big red machine would beat this team

[zamax20]

he olny hit 714 but he is still awsome

[gojetsandpackers]

This is a good selection but you should of added Steve Carlton

[jaws93]

lol

[jaws93]

great video

[jaws93]

thanks for uploading

[jaws93]

nice

[jaws93]

good choices

[u0fldt]

whoops sorry u do have pete good choices

[gtownhoyas555]

lol thanks

[u0fldt]

good choices, but how could u leave out pete rose?

[skimarcus]

Good choices, only thing I would change might be to tailor the infield a little more towards defense. I'm thinking Brooks Robinson at 3b, Joe Morgan at 2nd, and Ozzie Smith at SS (although I'm biased towards The Wizard because he's my favorite player).

[gtownhoyas555]

Brooks was heavily considered by me, but Schmidt was definately not a bad defender; he won 10 Gold Gloves in his career and had better power numbers than Brooks. I can't believe you're talking about Cal, defense was one of his best attributes. I can kind of understand Rose. I needed some place to put him, and 2nd seemed like the most logical of all the places he played.

[skimarcus]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on Cal, I loved the guy and you're right, he was a good defender. However the fact that he only hit over .300 four times in his career hurts me. If we want the perfect blend between offense and defense, I'd go with Barry Larkin in his prime. He was always overshadowed defensively by the Wizard in the NL, and if we're looking at your team as an actual team, you'd need a leadoff hitter. I know he got injured a lot, but on pure ability he's the best in my book.

[avalsonline]

i would have probably gone with rogers hornsby for 2nd base. way better average than even the best 2baseben, and in todays league he would have hit for at least 20 more homers

[avalsonline]

I just started a baseball league right here on youtube. all the greatest players from their respective teams as well as negro league all stars and AMGPL(LEAGUE of their own) female players, all playing against each other. check out my vids

[SoulOfSlain]

ya shimdt lol

[gtownhoyas555]

oh thanks lol

[cowboyzsuk81]

nice stuff. mike schmidt, babe ruth, ted williams, roberto clamente. great team. and way to start with sandy koufax

[gtownhoyas555]

Thanks a lot. Sorry about all the Yanks, I did my best to balance it out.

[farboid16]

Clemente did play 18 seasons

[gtownhoyas555]

okay, but Clemente had a higher average, more gold gloves, more batting titles, and more WS rings.

[farboid16]

very good, I considered him, but Aaron is, oh wait, was the HR king, with a .300 avg.

[gtownhoyas555]

pshhh Clemente would've owned him if he wasn't in that awful crash.
