The manager is clearly Whitey Herzog. Although there are so many Whiteys, we should either ban them or make them a team of their own.
Can we put Black Jack McDowell in the bullpen?

There's another color you guys are missing that would give you a good pitcher and a better center fielder...

Josh Gibson would be the catcher. His nickname was The Black Babe Ruth

No Pete Rose? Al Oliver would be a nice fit in the OF too.

It looks like we've completed the second team. Anyone want to suggest a theme for the next one?

I'll go with the suggestion I sent Tyrus by PM...

I know this version is over, but Duke "The Silver Fox" Snider would be a better choice than Eric Davis. Put Speaker in CF and Snider at DH.

No poor choices on there but I'm surprised Zack Wheat wasn't on the team.
