Team "A" looks to have slightly more firepower in both pitching and position players.

[1905 Giants]

I'm thinking team A has the advantage.

Love team "B's" outfield, especially that you included Frankie Robinson. Such a stud. Gotta go with team "A" though. If you would have given team "B" a better DH and one more quality starter, and given team "A" like Roberto Alomar or someone at 2b, then it would be very interesting.

Btw, do you crunch any numbers when you come up with these teams, or just throw them together and try to make things even?

[Buzzaldrin]

If team B has Wilbur Wood, why do they need a five man rotation?

Looks like A has the advantage to me, but since B has Dick Radatz I would be forced to root for them come what may.

[steve rogers]

Team A by a fairly comfortable margin.

You just love Mr. Radatz don't ya. Is it just the name. If that is the case, I would turn your attention to.....
