Saratoga Irish

Thursday, August 17, 2006

Did you hear about the Irish boomerang?
It doesn't come back but sings a lot of sad songs about comming back.
OK let's have some fun. What is the all time Yankee and Red Sox teams?
Enter your roster for both teams in the comments section. Here are the rules.
One player for each position.
Pitchers, one righty, one lefty and one reliever.
Out fielders must be best known for that position. You can't pick three centerfielders as your outfield.
These rules are hard, for example I had to leave Roger Clemens and Yaz off the Red Sox and Mantle off the Yankees.
Here are my picks let's hear from you.

Yankees

Mel Stottlemyre rhp
Whitey Ford Lhp
Mariano Rivera
1B Lou Gehrig
2B Tony Lazzeri
3B Graig Nettles
SS Phil Rizzuto
C Thurman Munson
RF Babe Ruth
CF Joe Dimaggio
LF Dave Winfield

Red Sox
Cy Young rhp
George Herman Ruth lhp
Sparky Lyle
1B Bill Buckner
2B Jerry Remy
3B Wade Boggs
SS Rico Petrocelli
C Carlton Fisk
RF Dwight Evens
CF Dom Dimaggio
LF Ted Williams

I know you guys won't like Buckner but except for one play in one game, he was a damm good first baseman.
On the Yankee side when it's all said and done Derek Jeter will be the best short stop in Yankee history but as of now I still have to go with the scooter.
