Every Wednesday during this long offseason, the Indians community on reddit.com poses a question that is meant to get baseball fans doing what they do best: debating arbitrary statistics and situations. Yesterday, I thought the question was really interesting and deserved some real extrapolation and clarification.
The question:
If you had to assemble a lineup using one player from each decade, who would make the cut?
The Indians are a team with a deep and rich history, so this should be pretty fun. The original question was posed without any rules or clarifications, so I am imposing the following guidelines on myself:
- Players can only be chosen once – Bob Feller played in multiple decades, but he’s only allowed to appear once.
