                This is awesome guys! Keep 'em coming!

                BTW, I forgot managers/coaches/etc. I'd have Leo Durocher manage my All-Time team as a with Sandy Koufax as a playing pitching coach. For the "All Current Team" I'd have Willie Randolph manage it (I believe he's my only current manager...) and Rick Peterson as my pitching coach. With the Team of Tomorrow...I dunno, that's kinda tough.
