Every baseball fan has a dream line-up, comprised of the greatest players in his or her favorite team’s history. As a Pirates fan, I’d love to see Barry Bonds and Roberto Clemente in the same outfield, for example.
ESPN’s Rob Neyer has produced the dream line-ups for every team. Of course, it’s more meaningful for long-lived, storied teams like the Pirates, Yankees, Cubs, and Red Sox, and less so for shorter-lived franchises like the Rockies and Marlins. (And it’s pretty much useless for the Devil Rays, a useless franchise whose existence boggles the mind.) But it’s still pretty cool to imagine teams made up of the greatest players of all time.
