So you take the 13 best seasons of Babe Ruth and put those players, so maybe Ruth 27 is hitting cleanup, Ruth 23 hitting #3, etc.

For pitching, they made a collection of hall of fame pitchers, and each player has the same pitching staff.

What do you think?
Yes I thought it was very fitting that the Yankees beat the Cubs in the final series afterall the Yanks win everything and the Cubs lose em.

I think the above idea is a very good one, you should give it a try! It would be tough to beat a team of Ruths though.

As for me I have been working for some time now on a new project that again searches the question of who the greatest was.

I will be announcing this in the next few days and it will be another long project. More details to come shortly and I hope people enjoyed this one and will follow again.
