I bet you cant tell which team is my favorite

 

I'm noticing some duplicate names.

 

Yeah, I'll be weeding those out when I compile the list. As I said, early next week

 

aye, so had i. tried to make sure i didn't add to that at all.

:snoopy

 

Tony Batista
Preston Wilson
Eddie Kunz
Troy Tulowitzki

 

There are not very many obvious selections since this is based entirely on opinion. I mean, I am not a fan of Reggie Jackson. Or Joe Dimaggio. Or Roger Maris for that matter. I probably wouldn't vote for them unless they were matched up against someone like Derek Jeter.


"Cool Papa" Bell
David Ortiz
Jon Lester
"Pokey" Reese

 

So this is the current list, with some duplicates removed, but I'm not guaranteeing having gotten all of them yet. Once I've gone through and added the necessary links, I'll make sure any remaining duplicates are removed and then randomize the order and we can get the tournament under way.
