I thought I would give a quick Historical Fantasy Baseball update before I head for Norway. Expect the blog to be jammed with great photos when I return.
I am starting a new franchise team this week, all Cardinals.
I think I will have a great shot as I have some powerful hitting and great fielding with adequate pitching.
We were able to supplement our draft with one Negro League player.
I will introduce this team by batting order this time.
Leading off and playing SS:
Ozzie Smith.

Batting 7th and out at third base:
Judy Johnson
Hitting in the eight hole and in CF:
Curt Flood
I am going to have to settle for a RH/LH platoon at catcher.
Talk about "murders row":
Hornsby,Musial, Mize, Maris and Slaughter.
What is an opposing pitcher to do?
