personal given name teams, redux

[jalbright]

Unfortunately, one of our moderators tried to transfer the thread where I invited everyone to create personal teams based on their given (i.e. not surname) names from history to trivia, and in the process sent the thread into the unexplored vastness of cyberspace. So, we'll try again. Remember, you can't work off anyone else's team, and surnames aren't usable (if we've got a Robinson, they'd be close to winning with that surname alone with Jackie, Frank and Brooks, among others). My given names are Jim and Fred. We can be reasonably liberal in this, since it's all for fun anyway. My team:

c--Jim Sundberg
1b--Jimmie Foxx
2b--Jim Gilliam
3b--Jimmy Collins
ss--Jim Fregosi

of--hard to pick from the following:
Jim O'Rourke
Fred Clarke
Jimmy Wynn
Fred Lynn
Jimmy Ryan
Jim Rice

sp--Jim Palmer
sp--Jim "Catfish" Hunter
sp--Jim Bunning
sp--Jim Kaat

RP--Fred "Firpo" Marberry

While my team probably won't be the best, it wouldn't get embarrassed too often. Have fun!

And now that I've changed my name to Robert Edward, no problem :gt

Here's Kroxquo's "poor" team

1B-Keith Hernandez
2B-Al Spalding
3B-Al Rosen
SS-Alan Trammell
LF-Al Simmons

UT-Al Oliver, Al Smith

That ain't half bad

I like my pitching and first baseman against his, but I'm sure that you could win some pennants with that group.

sp--Jim Bunning
sp--Jim Kaat

RP--Fred "Firpo" Marberry

What about James "Pud" Galvin? He's 5th on the all time win list.

[Ursa Major]

"Johns" and "Hughs"

Well, I'm "John Hugh", so I get the following, though I'm sure there's some great ones I'm missing.

c-- Johnny Bench
1b--Johnny Mize
2b--Johnny Evers
3b--John McGraw
ss--Hugh Jennings (thank god for my middle name, or I might be stuck with Johnnie Lemaster!)

OF --
Hugh Duffy
Johnnie "Dusty" Baker
Juan Gonzalez (if Utter Chaos gets "Roberto" for Robert, I get Juan)

sp--Johnny Podres
sp--John Clarkson
sp--Juan Marichal
sp--John Smoltz

RP--John Franco

UT: John "Pop" Lloyd
DH/PH: John "Boog" Powell, John Olerud

[Utter Chaos]

Juan Gonzalez (if Utter Chaos gets "Roberto" for Robert, I get Juan)

I don't have a problem with that.

A few more to help your bench:
Johnny Damon, Johnny Callison, Johnny Peskey, Johnny Sain.

And finally John Peter Wagner also known as Honus.

[It's Over The Wall!]

Hmm I was wondering, if a players middle name is my names(Nicholas Lewis)(aubrey huffs middle name is lewis) would I get to use him?

[Johnny Seven]

SP: Eddie Plank
SP: Ed Walsh
SP: Ed Reulbach
SP: Edward "Whitey" Ford
SP: Eddie Cicotte
RP: Mark Wohlers
RP: Edward Miguel Garcia (Mike Garcia)
RP: Ed Head (that's actually his name)
RP: Eddie Guardado
RP: Ed Roebuck

C: Ed Sprague
1B: Mark McGwire
2B: Eddie Collins
3B: Eddie Yost
SS: Mark Belanger
OF: Ed Delahanty
OF: Edward Wesley Schulmerich
OF: Duffy Edward Lewis (if that's allowed)

After my starting pitchers, it gets kinda hard. So many people have Edward as a middle name, but not many good non-pitchers have it as a fist name. Also, Mark does not seem to be too popular among ballplayers.

That's not the way I had in mind, but if others care and the popular will is to overrule that verdict, I'm OK with it.

I hope that other people agree with me, then I could make an (almost) all-HOF team.
