You need Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. I replace Robinson with Joe Morgan. And Killebrew never really hit for average. Pretty good choices.

I didn't think about Josh Gibson, but I'd say you're right. Pujols and Clemens (?) are currently active though, I think. The rest are excellent choices though, B.

Rod Beck has his moments, but c'mon, if you're gonna pull that, I'm gonna pull Mike Marshall.
