Tom Verducci's All-Time Team
SI's Tom Verducci picked his all-time baseball team. I have three quibbles with his choices.
1. OK - I can see picking Bunyanesque Josh Gibson to be the starting catcher but I cannot see picking Pudge Rodriguez as the back-up and mentioning Mike Piazza. Where's Johnny Bench or Yogi Berra? Both of those players are more deserving than Rodriguez or Piazza.
2. This one's not really a quibble but more of an observation - I couldn't help but notice that Barry Bonds is not even mentioned on the list.
3. OK - I can see picking Pete Alexander to be in the bullpen (373 wins with a 2.56 ERA) but my choice would have been Warren Spahn.
