All Arizona Baseball Team

10
Vote

by user Sasha

This team is not great folks so don't laugh too hard.

C: Ron Hassey - Tucson

Has the distinction of being the only man in MLB history to catch two perfect games.

1B: Shea Hillenbrand - Mesa

Has the extraordinary ability to piss off Canadian managers. Oh, and he does o.k. at hitting.

2B: Solly Hemus - Phoenix

Is one of only 5 men to play and manage at the same time, which works out for me since he is the only manager born in Arizona.

3B: Jack Howell - Tucson

Confirmed suspicion that the ball was juiced in 1987 when he hit a broken bat home run in Yankee Stadium.

SS: J.J. Hardy - Tucson

The young Brew Crew short stop. He shows much promise.

LF: Andre Ethier - Phoenix

The young Dodger LF who shows incredible potential.

CF: Brian Anderson - Tucson

The young White Sox OF who has great defense and developing offense.

RF: Billy Hatcher - Williams

One of the speediest guys to ever steal a base.

SP: John Denny - Prescott

In 1976, he led the league in ERA with his great hook.

SP: Gary Gentry - Phoenix

Was a good rookie starter for the "Miracle Mets" and combined with Nolan Ryan to shut out Baltimore.

SP: Alex Kellner - Tucson

Had a great curve which helped him to a 20-12 rookie year.

SP: Phil Ortega - Gilbert

Had his best year in 1967 when he went 10-10 with a 3.03 ERA.

SP: Jason Stanford - Tucson

Is in the Indian farm system but shows promise with his 3.60 ERA in 50 Innings.

CP: Bob Howry - Phoenix

Well, he has the most saves of a native Zony with a grand total of 55.

Manager: Solly Hemus (yes he's the second baseman but he is the only manager from Arizona)

If you wish to make a change I understand that because, really at the end of it I was tired and bored.

Long live Billy Hatcher (who will always be remembered as a Texas Ranger)

if you added a list of players who went to school in Arizona, the list would be WAY different. Or a team of players with homes in Arizona...

Wow...Jack Howell. There's a name I haven't seen since the last time I played MLB '99 on Nintendo 64.

I think it would be nice to see a little commentary about each player instead of just a list. Is there something distinguising about them that gets them on this team, or was it just the only person you could find at that position?

The first couple I did actually had commentary but they started getting really long and it jumped around a bit. That's why I usually do a couple commentsa after the list or before.

I'll see if I can find something distinguishing about these guys. And is Manny one of my great states native sons? I mean I'm a rare bread by being white and a 3ed generation Zonie.
