Recently, esteemed baseball writer Jayson Stark complied his First Quarter Century baseball team for a story which ran in the Athletic. Has it already been 25 years since Y2K? Crazy how time slips away.
I didn’t see much to argue about with Stark’s selections. The team is loaded with Hall of Famers and all-time greats as you would expect. Stark had some tough choices and left off guys like Ichiro Suzuki, Miguel Cabrera and Buster Posey. It’s easier to argue with some of the picks than it is to make the picks. I would have selected Posey at catcher in place of Yadi Molina.
