thats a good one...not much room to improve upon.....maybe Pie Trainer at third base.....Addie Joss instead of Waddell.

Since yours covered the greats so well.....

c:  Munson....only seen highlights against the Bosox...would have been neat to see live against Boston
1b:  Sunny Jim Bottomley, you already took Foxx, and for some reason, I like the guy
2b:  Nap Lajoie......race for the batting title vs Cobb, from New England
ss:  Joe Cronin, no exciting reason....
3b:  Brooks Robinson
of:  mantle, mays, Ted WIlliams....only seen the stats and the stories

sp:  Old Hoss Radboure, - pitched almost everyday in 1884.......Lefty Grove, got ****** at Cronin's error's at SS ....Luis Tiant, only seen highlights and stories
rp:  Dick Radatz....apparently, pretty intimidating.

Mine would just be Tigers legends.
Mickey Cochrane, Charlie Gehringer, Alan Trammel, Ty Cobb, Hank Greenberg. Heck, I wish I could've seen Miguel Cabrera cuz ESPN will only play Yanks-Red Sox even if they're fighting for last place. If not them then it's the Cardinals. I only got to see the Tigers when they played the ChiSox when they owned that one TV Network
