Here is a baseball quiz

Every so often I like to pose a trivia question. This is my first on this site, so here goes.

Q.- Is it possible for one team to get six hits in one inning without scoring a run? If so, how.

A.- In my next blog I will answer, please use the interim time to formulate an answer. Good luck.

Major league baseball

While I was growing up living in New York City one of the things we used to do to pass time was to name all star teams in sports. I have chosen Major League Baseball for my first venture, I may be having a "second childhood" moment but here goes:

Position Player

1B Lou Gehrig
Stan Musiel

2B Roger Hornsby
Pete Rose (a)

SS Honus Wagner
Alex Rodriguez

3B Mike Schmidt

OF (b) Hank Aaron
Barry Bonds (a)
Joe DiMaggio
Willie Mays
Babe Ruth
Ted Williams

C Johnny Bench
Roy Campanella
Yogi Berra

P (Right) Cy Young
Walter Johnson
Christy Mathewson
(Left) Warren Spahn
Sandy Koufax
(Relief) Mariano Rivera
Dennis Eckersly
Rollie Fingers
Goose Gossage

(a) players marked are considered without any prejudice concerning disciplinary actions taken by MLB.
(b) outfielders are listed in alphabetical order, the situation would determine which player is inserted.

I welcome any comments, additions or deletions.
