The Alphabet Allstars Roster

[HarpoSF]

Actually, it looks like all the Pitching slots will have been filled after today. Woo-HOO!!! Yaz it is!

Sorry, Cy. (The b*m never even won one Cy Young Award in his career, anyway.)

 

[CabanaBoyKen]

Yaz tomorrow and then super sub Ben Zobrist to round it out?

 

[philthepat]

Imagine facing Petey and then Bob Gibson on back to back days... you'd be lucky to have a head by the end of it

I remember Bob Zupcic but looked him up and he was an outfielder. bummer

 

[philthepat]

I think Yaz might make the team...

IF YOU ARE IN LINE TO VOTE, STAY IN LINE

 

[DemonessBaby]

I think we all know who will win for the "Y".

 

[fromcal]

I don't know if

Carl Yastrzemski​

ever hit a home run at County Stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
But I do remember when it was really rainy one time when the Red Sox played in a lopsided Red Sox wn.
Then I remember it was hot and sunny on another Red Sox at Brewers game, and I got sunburn.

 

[philthepat]

Well I think we've done a great job with this. Smart, forward thinking roster building means we've managed to fill every spot with excellent players... which wasn't guaranteed.

Today's vote is a straight head to head.

Ryan Zimmerman, a gold glove winning allstar who was on the 2019 World champion Nationals team.

Ben Zobrist, a two-time world champion and world series MVP and 3x allstar.

One fits our team better than the other... but both are very solid members of the 'hall of very good' and would be a nice final pick for the Alphabet allstars.

I went with Zobrist....he can fill a lot of roles and he always used to kill us.

Yaz hit 13 HR in County Stadium in his career.

I'm gonna share this to defacedbook. It came out pretty d*rn cool.

 

[HarpoSF]

One thing about sharing this on the funny pages of defacedbook is there are bound to be many comments on the final selections. Someone mentioned Bob Uecker. Was his name even on the "U"-list? That would have been funny.

 

[loyalsoxfan2]

haha, I came on here looking for the next letter to play!

 

[KingBrady]

So who’s the manager?

 

[HarpoSF]

So who’s the manager?

My choice would be from the letter "F", of course.

 

[DemonessBaby]

haha, I came on here looking for the next letter to play!

I'm so used to picking a letter. We all did so well at our picking.

Great idea, takket!
