I should have clarified. We called it the Lineup Game but it was really who started. the LG can work for basketball, football hockey, soccer The normal everyday lineup. Most games at that position. When dealing with a platoon, either counts. OF is OF, no center, left or right, but bonus points if you do know. The starters on the '91 Braves 1b - Sid Bream 2b - Jeff Treadway/Mark Lemke 3b - Terry Pendleton SS - Rafi Belliard OF - Ron Gant, David Justice, Lonnie Smith C - Greg Olson P - Glavine (any starter will do) Nice. I didn't become a Braves fan til around 97/98 ish but I could have named 5 of these guys just based on highlights I always saw from that team. (Bream/Lemke/Pendleton/Gant/Glavine) Honestly wasn't aware that Justice was there that early.

1992 Blue Jays 1B 2B SS 3B LF CF RF SP RP Their World Series was replayed all week so they're on the brain. Damn...don't think I could name one. Was Rodger Clemens on that version of the Blue Jays? Or am I thinking of somebody completely different?

1993 Blue Jays 1B 2B SS 3B LF CF RF DH SP RP Should be easier now. Piece of cake, I basically already did this one earlier in the thread. 1B - John Olerud 2B - Roberto Alomar SS - Tony Fernandez 3B - Ed Sprague LF - Ricky Henderson (after the trade, beforehand Rob Butler and Darnall Coles) CF - Devon White RF - Joe Carter DH - Paul Molitor (who also backed up 1B) SP - Juan Guzman, Pat Hentgen, Dave Stewart RP - Duane Ward EDIT: Want their batting order too?EDIT: Olerud, Molitor and Alomar were also 1,2,3 in the batting title race too.

Mike Stanton was on the team, at least the WS roster. We never did the whole roster.
We had a lot of run with this. Winters in the 70's in western NY, well, kind of like now, you couldn't get outside. So we made a game using the battered Baseball Encyclopedia we had. I forgot a lot but I can still recite many, 1961 Yankees, 1969 Mets, 1955 Dodgers, 1929 A's.
I love browsing the Baseball Encyclopedia. Those were the days before Baseball-Reference.com and retrosheet.org. I still have on my shelf the bulky edition that goes up to the 1995 season. I don't know if that is the last printed edition. The next one I bought was a terrible Window 98 software on CD, with a poor searching engine.

Yeah, Baseball-Reference blows the crappy Encyclopedia away but I loved the book. Just opening it to any page and seeing what you got. The infamous day when I found out that there as a player named Johnny Dickshot. The three reading essentials at out hose was the Baseball Encyclopedia, The Sporting News and the preview magazines. The Athlon, Sporting News and Street and Smith previews of baseball, CFB, CBB and the NFL. Me and my brother would beat the snot out of each other for the first look at the Street and Smith College Football preview.
