Make a Theme Team!

[rmackman]

The idea is to create an entire baseball team using players' names that all fit the theme of your team's name. The players can be from any time period and any team. They don't have to be all-stars, or even any good at all, but they have to have played pro baseball. I had a hard time finding a catcher for my team, but this should work. Good luck and have fun!

I didn't think to put a manager b/c I felt that would be hard for other people to find for their teams, but yes Bobby Cox would have been the manager.

I guess I watch to much hockey, because I can pronounce all of those names. Also, you better not be making fun of one my buddies from the Wolf Pack, "High-flutin" Fedor Tyutin.
