All Injury Team

You can add Nick Johnson, Nationals , continually injured

If we want to go back a few years we have Herb Score, Karl Spooner, Tony Conigliaro

Bo Jackson

Chris Carpenter



This thread is kind of depressing.

I thought forsure someone would of said J.D. Drew by now

Moises Alou, Bobby Crosby, and Ray Durham could all make that team.

Slo-Mo Vaughn. Any Mess "Believers" left?

I find this depressing to. It's not their faults that our expectations are due to the amount they are paid. Misdiagnosis and chronic injuries are not their faults.
I am sure they would much rather be in the game than watching from the bench.

JMO.

Ken Griffey Jr. (I know, good career but no where near what it could have been)

You mean just one of the Best players of all time.
Instead of the BEST Player of all time. Right?

Geez, this wasn't meant to be depressing nor to pass blame for their inability to live up to expectations.

I was just thinking about players who (as a huge baseball fan) I wish were able to stay healthy. It's not a knock, it's a desire on my part to see the greatest baseball players play.

Kerry Wood had 20 Ks as a rookie...I was thinking the next Roger Clemens.

Mark Prior had the smoothest delivery.

Ken Griffey Jr. could have beaten the home run record by a long shot.

Bo Jackson was one of the most electric athletes ever, I wish he had stayed with baseball.

Lighten up and have fun with the idea of what kind of All Star Team could have been made up of these guys.

biggerpapi,

I understand your point. What if...

I got a chuckle when I saw you mentioned Bo. He really was something special!

BP,
Now that you stated your purpose, I understand your point.

J.R. Richards, HOU. Sufferred stroke in prime of his career. He would have been HOF.

Not exactly to my point, but what about Roberto Clemente?

I'm trying to think of who would or could represent Roberto in todays game.
He just seemed to me to be a very Humble person.
A Profesional.
Are there any like that in the game today.
No slam on anybody.
I just mean like Roberto.

Sandy Koufax?

EH;

many years ago I met Roberto in the visitor's
dressing room in Dodger Stadium. He was the most
impressing physical player, I had even seen.

As you know, I played against Mays, Aaron, Banks,
Gibson, but Clemente was special.
In my auto, I have the audio tapes from his story.

Bob Williams

Thanks Bob for the insight.
I was young when Roberto was playing.
But he always seamed to be at the top of the league.
I had him right up there with May's, Mantle, Frank and Brocks Robinson. as far as players of my youth.

Sorry, Koufax was before my time, was he oft-injured and missed some of his best years?

Koafax Retired at the top of his game, and was young at the time.
He had some health issue's, but not sure what it was.
