Can't really complain about any of the selections.... it's interesting that they have Ryan Braun's 2009 season as a selection - "Before this year, walks were the only thing missing from Braun's game, but now he's doing that, too; already a two-time All-Star." Milwaukee All-Stars - Hank Aaron: 1963 Milwaukee Braves Warren Spahn: 1953 Milwaukee Braves Ryan Braun: 2009 Milwaukee Brewers

Possibly the greatest pitching season of all time? 34 GS, 28 CG, 13 SHO, 304.2 IP, 22-9, 1.12 ERA, 0.853 WHIP, 268 K, 62 BB ...the only question is how did he lose 9 games? If you are going to include Bonds then you have to include Mark McGwire in 1998 over any of the 3 choices. McGwire 1998: 155 G, 130 R, 152 H, 21 2B, 70 HR, 147 RBI, 133 BB, .299/.470/.752, 1.222 OPS He also could have picked one of Warren Spahns Boston seasons to get rid of Wally Berger who had a good season but not in the best 9 in NL history, especially over Sammy Sosa 2001. "I always thought the knuckleball was the easiest pitch to catch. Wait 'til it stops rolling, then go to the backstop and pick it up."

The overall strength of the roster dwindles because it seems like the AL teams have a lot of short stops in cities (Seattle Pilots, KC A's, etc) Some of the selections on the AL team are baffling to me. Not having Pudge Rodriguez on the team? His 1999 season was just mammoth for the Rangers. "And here comes Johnny Walker... I mean Johnny Estrada to the plate." -Bob Uecker 7/23/07 Last Edited By: Baldkin July 10, 2009 2:15 PM. Edited 1 time.

Wow this team was really hurt by having to select a player from every team, no Jimmie Foxx 1933 or 1938 or Hank Greenberg 1938 at first base. Al Rosen 1953 3B for Cleveland was pretty good too. Mauer this year should probably be on there over his 06 season. Albert Belle '95 or Manny '99 could replace a few of those in the OF. Also, no Denny McClain 1968: 41 GS, 28 CG, 6 SHO, 336 IP, 31-6, 1.96 ERA, 0.905 WHIP, 280 K, 63 BB "I always thought the knuckleball was the easiest pitch to catch.
