GOAT Baseball Team

Hi folks, long time no see.

I'm in the process of a project and was looking for volunteers to help me out. I'm trying to see what biases come into play when it comes to idolizing people. I'm gathering data on the greatest baseball team of all time in your opinion. If you're interested, take a couple of minutes to respond in the format in the below example. Before you do though, let me be clear. I don't want google's opinion, I want you're opinion. For example growing up I always thought Jim Edmonds was just amazing. Even though he might not be the best ever, I'm still considering him for my team. Thanks for your help!

Name: Joe Camile (Screen name is fine)

Hometown: Anchorage, Alaska

Current City: Sydney, Australia

Favorite Team: Albuquerque Dukes

Year Born: 1909

Do I prefer the DH? : Yes/No

Starting Pitchers (Pick five)-

Relief Pitchers (Pick two)-

Closing Pitcher (Pick one)-

C-

1B-

2B-

3B-

SS-

LF-

Birth year seems important to revealing bias. Mine's 1972.
