All-Time California Baseball Team

Talk about an excess of talent. California almost has a ridiculous second team nevermind the players I put on the first team. The biggest problem with placing players on the California team was dealing with the question of steroids. For this particular team I chose to ignore it and focus strictly on the players career, no matter how tainted it may be.

MANAGER
Billy Martin, (Berkeley) - No manager really stood out so I went with the one that would be the most interesting to have coaching this lineup and the most interesting to watch. Few, if any, managers could throw a tantrum quite like Billy.
I don't know what to say about this lineup. It is nothing short of awesome. Just to add an exclamation point to this team, here are some of the possible bench players for this team: Eddie Murray, Cecil Fielder, Jason Giambi, The Mex, Bret Boone, Darrell Evans, Matt Williams, Bobby Bonds, Eric Davis, Dwight Evans, Jim Edmonds, Duke Snider, and Darryl Strawberry.
