It’s been over a year now since the great Tony Gwynn passed away. Being a fan of his, I got to thinking about some of my favorite players that I ever had the joy to watch. I then narrowed that down to my favorite players from the late 80’s and early 90’s. Those were the glory days of my baseball education, and I still look back fondly on that era.
So, I decided to construct my favorite starting nine from that period. It is not necessarily the best player at each position, but rather my own personal favorites during this window of time.
