3B SS Mgr, 1899-1972. Possibly the best third baseman of all time, and named to the Hall in 1948, Traynor hit over .300 ten times, and led the NL in putouts seven seasons. 1B, 1903-1941. Brandeis and Gehrig had enormous ability and many scholars claim that Brandeis belongs on the all-time All-Star team. No baseball fan doubts Gehrig’s place there. Both had careers marked by outstanding, iron-man diligence. Gehrig played in 2,130 consecutive games, a record that stood until Cal Ripken, Jr. broke it in 1995. Similarly, the Court may never have another Justice of whom it would be suggested that recreational reading consists of the reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Brandeis’s penchant for asceticism did not add to his ability; it might very well have detracted from it. OF DH, b. 1953. This slugger’s tremendous strength was evident during one plate appearance when he broke his bat on a check swing without making contact with the ball. OF, b. 1921. Hit a homer in his first at bat, but never saw much playing time in his career.
