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.



Thank you for viewing.

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.



Thank you for viewing.

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.



Thank you for viewing.

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.



Thank you for viewing.

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.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Philadelphia Phillies

Before winning their World Series title in 2008...the Phillies had only Series title in their history (1980). I mean that is as bad as the Cubs. And like the Cubs...they have had some serious sluggers that have adorned their lineup over the last 100 years. Dick Allen might be the most underappreciated member of this lineup. When you view this montage and see who is in it...that is saying something.



Thnak you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Baltimore Orioles

Very solid lineup. Solid defensively and offensively. This lineup is represented in every decade just about. (even going back to the St. Louis Browns days). George Sisler to Cal Ripken Jr. The Orioles has a overall winning tradition that nobody wants to talk about. Especially with their recent struggles...this montage brings back memories.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Houston Astros

The Astros spent 35 years of their history in the Astrodome which was a pitcher's paradise so you won't see any power in this lineup until the Bagwell-Caminiti days when they left the Dome for the more cozier Minute Maid Park. Nevertheless, this is a very underrated lineup. The best pure hitter in this batting order is Jose Cruz Sr. I had a habit of imitating his batting stance on the school playgounds back in the day. I would have love to see what Cruz and Cedendo could do at Minute Park. Lance Berkman almost made this lineup. In two or three time...he might replace somebody. I give history the nod over the present.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Los Angeles Angels

Question: Name the last major league team from L.A. to win a World Series? Yep..the Angels. There are a couple of players in the all-time batting order that was on that 2002 team. However...most of the lineup played durung the late 1970's to mid-80's. Those were some solid teams and they should've gotten that ring well before 2002. You may have never heard of some of these players but there are on here for a reason. They were pretty good.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Arizona DiamondBacks

Like their twin cousins from the Sunshine State (Rays)...the D-Backs have a limited history but they do a World Series Championship to their portfolio. This lineup does have it's moments. Pretty much this whole lineup (except Conor Jackson) played for the 2001 World Champions. Remember...this franchise is only 11 years old so players like Jackson and Upton is going to have a lot to say in the future of the D-Backs.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Tampa Bay Rays

Okay...this franchise is barely 10 years old so there is not much here in terms of history. But this lineup has it's strong points and that is youth. Some of the all-time great players are still on the team in their prime. So stay tuned.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Chicago Cubs

I have one question. How can a franchise that is as loaded with a glorious collection of players not win a World Series in 101 years? Beats me. The Cubs should hire a archaeologist to check underneath the soil of Wrigley Field to detect for a burial ground because this is one solid batting order. Gee, if I was the manager os a lineup like this...I could win a World Series.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Cleveland Indians.

This is one mean lineup. Kenny Lofton and Andre Thornton could've made this lineup but I had to make for all the sluggers that decorate the history of the Indians. They should've won at least one World Series ring in the 1990's. Plus...I couldn't leave out Larry Doby. And Manny Ramirez may have been at his finest during this time period which is scary.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For Colorado Rockies

Before they started to do something to the baseballs at Coors Field to keep them from flying around like wiffle balls that had rocket fuel in them. The Colorado Rockies all-time lineup could have been nominated to play on a team representing the planet of Neptune. I know most of those numbers were produced during the steroid era but with the altitude during the mid 1990's and those sluggers they had in those Rockies lineups...it was Nintendo city. The Rockies actually fielded some solid teams during that time period and they made the playoffs as a wildcard in 1995. When they played at home...they were fun to watch.



thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Chicago White Sox

The Southsiders have always been overshadowed by their Northside rivals (Cubs) but this lineup proves that the legendary White Sox lineup should not back down from nobody. The crux of this lineup have lead the Palehose to two World Series winning one of them. Ozzie Guillen could've made this team...but Luke Aparicio? Ozzie was pretty good...but come on.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Florida Marlins

Actual fact: The Florida Marlins have won two World Series. Yes...it's true. This montage should bring back some fond memories for the diehard Marlins supporters. Note: If the Marlins played in the American League.... Hanley Ramirez would be the DH. Perhaps he should have been in the lineup anyway. But Alex Gonzalez played on a World Championship team so I gave him the nod for the time being.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The New York Yankees.

The Yankees. Need I say more. Love them or hate them. This lineup is very, very solid. There is no other way to put it. I mean Babe Ruth....case closed. 28 World Series Championships...case closed. Like I said...need I say more.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Milwaukee Brewers

The history of the Milwaukee Brewers is rooted in the American League even though they're currently in the National League so I included a DH in their all-time lineup.
To the exception of Geoff Jenkins..every player in this lineup played on the 1982 team that made the World Series(Harvey's Wallbangers). Since I am lifelong Cardinals fan and the Cards had to face this bunch in that World Series...I was scared to death. But my Cards prevailed. I don't know how but they pulled it out. As you will see in this montage...the Brew Crew have some sluggers. Very underrated lineup.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Los Angeles (Brooklyn) Dodgers

This lineup contains my all-time favorite player. Who else? Jackie Robinson! With his sacrifices...he helped make this game what it is today...minus the steroids. Do you know that Tommy Davis once drove in 150 runs in one year? That's what you call a 'RBI' man.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Seattle Mariners.

A solid American League lineup. This team would probably score runs like a pinball machine in the old Kingdome. By the way...Harold Reynolds was a pretty good player in his day. No...I'm not related to him and I don't know him personally. I'm just saying.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The New York Mets.

This lineup is composed of players that are scrappy and they just outhustled people. Defense is the name of the game with this fantasy lineup. Darryl Strawberry would be the only run-producer in this batting order. David Wright almost made this lineup but I put Howard Johnson at third base for the time being. But David is obviously gaining ground.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Texas Rangers..

The Rangers are a relatively young franchise and their reputation of having successful seasons is very limited. But this lineup is loaded with players that can hit the ball to the moon. Surprisingly...the one player that is the most impressive in that regard is Frank Howard. Most of his time with the Rangers was when the team was known as the Washington Senators. This man was about 6 foot 8 and weighed 295 pounds. I mean...what is the heck? In terms of hitting....the Rangers may contend with being the greatest of all-time.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Atlanta (Boston and Milwaukee) Braves.

This is a very underrated lineup. Of course...Mr. Aaron is the straw that stirs the drink in this batting order but there are other superstars in this lineup that can mashed the ball. I watched some of these cats on the SuperStation WTBS when they used to broadcast of all of the Braves games (and I mean all of them). Can you imagine this lineup in the old "Launching Pad"?



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Oakland Athletics.

Let's talk some "Bash Brothers"!

The Oakland A's teams of the late 1960's and the late 1980's pretty much make up this lineup. These guys can HIT! But you do have your defensive wizards in Bert Campaneris and Sal Bando. Probably the best pure hitter in this lineup didn't play on those A's teams of the last 40 years. That's Jimmy Foxx. And he played a while ago.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Cincinnati Reds.

Since I was born and raised in Kentucky...I grew up watching these the Reds (and the Cardinals) on TV. I don't remember the two years they won the World Series ('75 and '76) but I remember the great players. Johnny Bench was my favorite because he was the host of the TV show, The Baseball Bunch. Joe Morgan has since taken his place as my current favorite for his 20 years as a analyst for ESPN's baseball coverage. This is a powerful lineup. Power, speed and defense is the rule of the day for this legendary batting order. They earned the moniker, "Big Red Machine".



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The Toronto Blue Jays.

This is a very effective batting order. There is a lot of power and some speed. People have a tendency to forget those good Blue Jay teams in 1980's. The two players that deserved to be in this and were left out: John Olerud and Cecil Fielder. Check out my future montage featuring the all-time Blue Jays team.



Thank you for viewing.

All-Time Batting Order For The St. Louis Cardinals.

I'm sure this montage will stimulate some heated debate among devoted Redbird fans. Certain players like Curt Flood, Yadier Molina and Willie McGee were left out due to the fact that there are only nine players in a batting order. Those players are certainly on the Cardinals all-time team. Stay tuned for that montage.
