All-Time Batting Order For The San Fransisco (New York) Giants

The Giants might be considered one of the cornerstones on the Mt. Rushmore of baseball. They have a very extended history with profound success in every decade and memorable players from beginning to now. This is very fierce lineup with power and speed galore. Some of their great players go back to the turn of the last century which is something else. Just looking at all the league pennants that the Giants have won in their illustrious history gives this lineup dignity.

All-Time Batting Order For The Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins heyday was in the 1980's with their two World Series rings but the majority of their legendary stars play in the 1960's when they also had solid teams. Some considered Rod Carew the greatest pure hitter of all time (pound per pound). He hit over .380 one year. Yeah...that is pretty pure hitting. You also have the late great Kirby Puckett whose time (career and life) came too soon. This is nice solid lineup.

All-Time Batting Order For The Montreal Expos (Washington Nationals).

It's a shame that the Montreal Expos don't exist anymore (in terms of no longer playing in Montreal). This franchise has had one of the most colorful collection of players (also a very colorful uniform) in the history of baseball. But since they play in a town that loved it's hockey....some of those went unnoticed. The biggest shame of it all is that the Expos always had a solid team from year to year. They rarely experienced a losing season and their farm system was always loaded with talent that they begin to give away in the late 90's. Viewing this montage will give you a idea of the talent that came through that organization over a 35 year period (1969-2004). You will be shocked.

All-Time Batting Order For The Detroit Tigers

Typical American League lineup. A whole lot of offense with a little bit of defense. Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell was a pretty good double combination along with their offense. Hank Greenberg was a straight-up slugger who smash the ball with the best of them. This is a very underrated lineup offensively. This lineup could even score in the spacious Comerica Park.

All-Time Batting Order For The Pittsburgh Pirates

"We are family, We are family".

That is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the Pirates and success in the same sentence. But the Pirates have one of the most colorful histories in baseball. They do have five World Series titles to their name and their collection of great players is endless. Roberto Clemente is the star of this lineup...of course. Barry Bonds almost made this lineup but like I said...the Pirates have a very talented past.

All-Time Batting Order For The Kansas City Royals

Do you know that the Kansas City Royals are to some baseball experts as the the American League team of the 1970's? Viewing this montage...you will get a ideal of why. The whole batting lineup playing during the 1970's (including the pitcher). And that success in the 70's lasted through the mid-80's. Those were some great teams. But they are long forgotten (except for Brett) considering the present state of the franchise. Long live the memories.

All-Time Batting Order For The San Diego Padres

The Padres have only been around since 1969 so their history is very limited. Other than Tony Gywnn and Dave Winfield...most of these names are unrecognizable. From what I read...Nate Colbert was a very underrated power hitter and Garry Templeton was penalized for being labeled the guy that was traded for Ozzie Smith in the early 1980's. He was a solid player also. But it's all about Tony Gwynn..baby! He is the San Diego Padres.

All-Time Batting Order For The Boston Red Sox

Aaaah...the distant step-sister to the Yankees. Yeah...right! If you put the all-time lineup of the Red Sox right beside the all-time lineup of the Yankees...the Red Sox might have a better lineup. As a matter of fact...this might be the best all-time lineup in the history of baseball. This is a very, very, very underrated lineup. David Ortiz might get some votes over Mo Vaughn but I think Vaughn in his prime was a slightly better player and I mean very slightly. Nonetheless...scary lineup.
