Pittsburgh Pirates all-time batting order(MLB starting lineup)

[mindlessman2009]

You lose right off the bat. Honus Wagner? At that point I stopped watching lol

[3443bh]

I really enjoyed this! There's so many great Pirates to add, Wagner, Bonds, Phillippe, etc., On the bench you can put madlock and in the bullpen Tekulve & Ellis!

[jrob52]

As far as Barry Bonds goes, anybody who couldn't wait to get out of Pittsburgh has no place in that line up. He tanked two league championship series while he was with the Pirates.

[jrob52]

Where is Honus Wagner?

[Pittfan2020]

Honus Wagner?

[andmaketherain]

Great players all. I hope the Pirates can come back and become a contending team again in baseball, it has been too long out.

[jake44514]

You managed to leave four hall of famers off the team. Richie Hebner at third base over HOFer Pie Traynor was, by far, the worst. Honus Wagner, Paul Waner and Lloyd Waner were the others.

[tvbsebalstr11]

Richie Hebner was one of my favorites too. But that doesn't make him an all time great. Another thing, This person could not have seen Roberto make an over the shoulder catch deep in the corner, pivot and throw a clothesline on NO HOP to 3rd base to get a runner out. I'll watch that over 10 home runs

[satan865]

honus wagner anybody!

[BIGMFBEN]

Clemente in CF, Parker in LF? No Honus Wagner? Stargell should be in the OF and Kiner at 1B! Hack Hebner over Pie Traynor?! FAILEST OF FAIL!

This should be:

Honus Wagner SS

Roberto Clemente CF (Only because Parker can't play CF)

Dave Parker RF

Barry Bonds LF

Willie Stargell 1B

Pie Traynor 3B

Billl Mazeroski 2B

Manny Sanguillen C

[shockersfan]

@BIGMFBEN Wagner-SS  Mazeroski-2B Clemente-CF Stargell-1B Traynor-3B Kiner-LF Parker-RF Sanguillen-C

[glyn420]

No Honus = No credibility.

[ThePhilliesforlife]

Moving clemente to cf gave up the greatest arm from rf ever

[lemaxmas]

@ThePhilliesforlife Not defending the choice, but having a great arm in center is needed too ala Willie Mays.

[Koogrr]

Okay.. if we're talking outfield hitters, drop Parker and put EASLER in SOMEWHERE...

[Koogrr]

Richie Hebner over Scrap Iron, Phil Garner?

[therevphil]

Where's Dr. Strangeglove? Dick Stuart? :-)

[harmony000]

richie hebner? maybe. bill madlock was a lot better hitter.

[chaschk]

Where's Honus Wagner, Paul Waner and Pie Traynor

[Caksman1027]

Where the hell is Wagner?? He was one of the Two greatest ballplayers before 1920 (the other being Cobb) WOW

[ateodeponce]

Clemente was the best right field not only in Pittsburgh, but in history and you have him in center field???? What are you smoking ?  And where is Honus Wagner?

[lancer89032]

Honus Wagner? 

[stewartmc7]

Lost all credibility when I didnt see Honus at Short. Honus and Pie are considered some of the greatest if not greatest at their posistions.

[GreyGhostly]

Love the pick of Parker smoling a refer on the bench

[bizum82]

Dick Groat over HOnus Wagner? Richie Hebner over Pie Traynor? Idiot

[pjg0921]

i had to stop this as soon as i saw that honus wagner (perhaps the greatest ss of all time) was the not the starting ss for the all time team. obviously, this person knows nothing of the history of the pirates.

[WP4KTF]

Roberto in CF? What the...? Clemente NOT in RF????? WOW.... Also, Dave Parker was good but...great? He was expected to be, but....

[ojoe629]

Wagner is the greatest shortstop of all time, so he has to be in far, far ahead of Groat. Also, I understand that Barry Bonds is unpopular, but he's also one of the greatest players (if not the greatest) that the Pirates have ever had. I think a myth has grown up around him that he wasn't really a dangerous hitter until the steroids, but that's not true. He was always one of the most feared hitters in the game. Even in Pittsburgh.

[glyn420]

@ojoe629 Thank god someone with a little sense.

[cucumberinmypants]

All time Pittsburgh Pirates team of faggott crack smokers or real baseball players? First base Bob Robertson 2nd base Rennie stennett SS Jackie hernandez 3rd base R Hebner Lf W Stargell Cf Al Oliver Rf R Clemente C Jose Pagon Dh John The hammer Milner Phitter Dave parker P Steve Blass P Denny Neagle M Jim Leland

[MariPamJam]

I like it. I'm Glad you didn't put in Barry Bonds. but next time, put in Hounus and Bert Blyleven. but it's alright

[mclaughlin75]

[Skye7713]

@mclaughlin75 yeah honus wagner over dick groat anyday big miss here

This is what it should be

SS-Wagner

C-Kendall

RF-Clemente

1B-Pops

LF-Kiner

CF-Dave Parker

3B-Traynor

2B-Maz

P-Haddix

[LaVarLB11]

[71PensFan]

Wagner should be SS

Clemente played RF

Your a Smart One

[marty34156]

this guys an idiot, how is wagner not at SS? and Clemente in CF?? your right lol

[OPSportsInc]

Bonds is probably a member of the all-time Pirates team but he would come off the bench. With Clemente, Stargell and Kiner. I don't see any other way besides the Pirates moving to American League and having a DH. Then Bonds would be in there with Stargell moving to DH.

[loyaldude10]

@OPSportsInc --that is a tough choice among those 4---but Bonds was such an asshole and such a blatant steroid user I'd have left him off for those reasons.

[glyn420]

@OPSportsInc Please I LOVE Wilver Dornell Stargell but Bonds was 50x the player POPs was. Bonds was also better than Clemente. iknow blasphemy but also the truth.

[lemaxmas]

@glyn420 I think Clemente or Stargell on steroids would scare Barry as well as the rest of the players in both leagues. Let alone Mickey, Willie, Hank and Frank!

[ojoe629]

@OPSportsInc Stargell isn't in your OF; it's Clemente, Parker, Kiner. Bonds easily beats Parker, and you'd have better position alignment. Clemente from CF to RF, his actual position. Kiner from RF to LF, his actual position. Bonds takes CF, where he played 171 games. Not much, but at least it's more than a full season. ...None of which addresses the most glaring weakness: putting Dick Groat in over Honus Wagner. That simply can't be defended.

[moki425]

bonds???? come on he has the hr record

[jstu9]

Dick Groat at SS??

Kiner in RF and Parker in LF?? Wouldn't that be the other way around?

Clemente in CF??

Hebner at 3B??

Honus Wagner should be at SS, Traynor at 3rd, Kiner in LF, Carey in CF and Waner or Clemente in RF.
