If Sam Malone's pre-Cheers career counts, then Jimmy Dugan from A League of Their Own is a HOF masher at third, filling both these needs.

That leaves a hole at catcher since Dottie's out of C and Crash is a pretty bad player. He's a career 4A catcher who even at his peak was sub-replacement level so you can't project him out like you can for Bad News Bears kids/Jake Sisko.

Maybe replace Rick Vaughn with the rear end in a top hat catcher who got traded in Major League 2 since I can't think of another good catcher. Or replace him with Jake Taylor if you care about team chemistry since a washed up MLB journeyman catcher is still better than a washed up minor leaguer.

With Crash gone, Nuke can take Vaughn's spot since he's pretty much the same type of prospect Vaughn was at the start of the first Major League.

Then Billy Chapel from For the Love of the Game fills a starting rotation spot. The prime version gets you an ace or the end of career movie version could still hold a middle/back of the rotation innings eater. He also fills the Coster spot since a movie/baseball crossover without Costner is wrong.
This all works except now you're starting Jackie Earl Haley in Bad News Bears at second, unless we're moving Benny Rodriguez in from CF.

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

OK, so the lineup looks like this:

C Jake Taylor, Major League
1B Mr. Go, Mr. Go
2B Kelly Leak, Bad News Bears
SS Henry Skrimshander, The Art of Fielding
3B Jimmy Dugan, A League of Their Own

LF Worf, Son of Mogh, DS9: "Take Me Out To the Holosuite"
CF Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez, The Sandlot
RF Roy Hobbs, The Natural

OF Stan Ross, Mr. 3000
IF Ricky Davis, Mr. Baseball (played by Frank Thomas!)

SP Steve Nebraska, The Scout
SP Nuke LaLoosh, Bull Durham
SP Bily Chapel, For Love of the Game
SP Sidd Finch, Sports Illustrated April Fools Joke

RP Sam Malone, Cheers: "Now Pitching, Sam Malone"
RP Kazuo Uzuki, 2008 Topps Baseball April Fools Joke
RP Monty Brewster, Brewster's Millions
SU Kenny Powers, Eastbound & Down
CL Henry Rowengardner, Rookie of the Year

Manager: Billy Heywood, Little Big League

I'm back-and-forth at slotting in "movie version of Ty Cobb" at 2B, just because I don't think Kelly Leak can hit at the "imaginary all-stars" level.

Mr. Go wasn't a position player. He was either the DH or he pinch hit, and it's probably a crime to include a man in place of a woman when the movie is about dames playing baseball. Vote Marla Hooch or Dottie. We should also have a tenth player on the field in the form of one of the angels from Angels in the Outfield.

This also allows you to slot Walter Matthau in as the pitching coach which is a pretty good get.

If there really isn't anyone else Tony Danza played 2nd in Who's the Boss. I don't remember them talking about whether he was any good, but at least he made the show before injuries turned him into a maid.

Bad, very bad!
I don't know what position he played or why I remember this character at all, but Josh Exley of the X Files hit 61 homers for the Roswell Grays in 1947.

Could be used for some pop off the bench I guess. He was an alien and all but no superpowers so he should be legal.

If you want to go with a 5 man rotation, you could fill it out with Henry Wiggen from Bang the Drum Slowly (et all) who was supposed to be a star pitcher.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.





I agree about League of their Own. Dottie if we need a C, Marla Hooch if we need a 2B.

I firmly believe defenses don't really turn triple plays, idiot baserunning teams TOOTBLAN themselves into them. Ed still has a place on the Goons, just as a bench player.

Bokai at third gives us Marla Hooch back at 2B, but forces us to play either Frank Thomas or Stan Ross in the OF as we lose Worf, Son of Mogh.

Also Domingo Ayala needs to be at least the a September Call-Up.

I mean, I've long thought a Golden Retriever would be the best SS imaginable, nothing would get by him. It's getting him to throw to first that would be tricky.

At the plate he presents his own challenges vis-a-vis hitting, but I've heard dogs love taking walks. :buddy:

All groundouts to him will just have to be unassisted.

That is a small strike zone on him, he'd probably take alot of walks.
