You would think the Orioles of the early 80's would be up there due to Murray and Ripken but the 2b and 3b were pretty horrible.
here's my take on the 2 best for my money:
Perez, Morgan, Concepcion, Rose vs Gehrig, Lazzeri, Koenig and Dugan.
1b-Edge NY
2b-Wash to very slight Edge Cincy
SS-Edge Cincy
3b-Edge Cincy
However, you gotta give a lot more respect to the Yankee infield with Gehrig. I think too many people today only think of him for his speech and the disease and forget just how astounding his career numbers truely are. This guy at 1B along with 3 of us rounding it out should get all-time consideration from his presence alone.
Lifetime BA of .340..2721 Hits..493 HR's..1995 RBI and a career line of .442/.632/1.074
and of course there was the little matter of a streak he had.
Cant go wrong with either one, but I'll take the BRM's infield if my life depended on it.

Dryden: "Todd Zeile on the bench as a 3B substitution was a nice option to have."
Actually Zeile was a late season acquisition. They acquired Zeile & Pete Incavigila (sp?) right before the waiver trade deadline and played him at 3B every day and moved Surhoff to every day LF. Palmeiro-Ripken-Alomar-Surhoff barely played over 100 games together as infielders.
"yeah, FUCK YOU Jeffrey Maier!!!"
Dude, I'm sick of hearing Oriole fans bitch about Maier .. the Yankees OWNED the O's that year, and had a much better team anyway. The Yanks were UNDEFEATED at Camden Yards that season (and also undefeated at Jacobs Field & Fulton County Stadium that year, too - including playoffs), and the Maier incident happend in Game 1! Its not a pivotal moment in a playoff series at all. Jeez .. if the O's were so damn good, then rebound after a close Game 1 loss and take the series like every other great team does. How hard is it to come back from a 0-1 deficit in a best of 7? The only thing Maier did is make that Series a 5 game whitewash instead of a 6 game whitewash.
Jaxbuck: "However, you gotta give a lot more respect to the Yankee infield with Gehrig. I think too many people today only think of him for his speech and the disease and forget just how astounding his career numbers truely are."
You obviously haven't read my thread in this forum about the 25 greatest players of all time. Gehrig is the 3rd best player of all-time, statistically. Go check it out. It gives the Iron Horse all the props in the world.
And, I can't argue against the Big Red Machine. But I'm just gonna throw this out there, and you guys can chew on this. This is last year and this year's (projected) numbers for the Texas Infield:
2004:
Texeira, 1B - 101 R, 34 2B, 38 HR, 112 RBI, & .281 AVG.
Soriano, 2B - 32 2B, 28 HR, 91 RBI, & .280 AVG.
Young, SS - 114 R, 216 H, 33 2B, 9 3B, 22 HR, 99 RBI, & .313 AVG.
Blalock, 3B - 107 R, 172 H, 38 2B, 32 HR, 110 RBI, & .276 AVG.
2005 (Projected):
Texeira, 1B - 126 R, 192 H, 40 2B, 47 HR, 138 RBI, & .290 AVG.
Soriano, 2B - 113 R, 175 H, 45 2B, 40 HR, 105 RBI, & .275 AVG.
Young, SS - 124 R, 224 H, 34 2B, 9 3B, 26 HR, 89 RBI, & .333 AVG.
Blalock, 3B - 188 H, 38 2B, 30 HR, 107 RBI, & .285 AVG.
That's some major lumber being thrown out there ...

There is a scenario where 4 outs are officially go into the scorebook...
Bottom 10th - 0-0 game. Men on 2nd and 3rd - one out. Batter hits the ball into the gap, both runners believe it's a hit and each runner scores (2 runs). Right fielder makes diving catch (2nd out). Gets up and throws to third doubling off third base runner (3rd out). That run no longer counts and inning is over. Unfortunately, the only way to take the other run off the board from the guy who scored from second, is to throw to second and double (actually triple) him off as well. This makes a fourth out that the official scorer must score as an out in order to eliminate the run.
There is no choice for the offense as to which third out they want because they must make both outs official to remove the runs from the board!

poor Danny Graves. He pitches his arm off as a starter to help a shitty Reds team that needed him, and now he's got nothing left.

Konerko is staying with the White Sox. $60 million over 5 years. That will be one heck of a payroll next year.

White Sox keep Konerko
Team leader agrees to five-year, $60 million deal
Posted: Wednesday November 30, 2005 2:20PM; Updated: Wednesday November 30, 2005 2:20PM
CHICAGO (AP) -- The World Series champion Chicago White Sox on Wednesday agreed to terms with first baseman Paul Konerko on a five-year, $60 million deal, the team announced.
Konerko, MVP of the American League championship series, hit .283 with 40 homers and 100 RBIs during the regular season. He hit a grand slam in Game 2 of the World Series sweep over Houston, the first Series title for the White Sox since 1917.
The All-Star Konerko had an $8.75 million base salary last season, then became a free agent after the Series. Last offseason, Chicago decided not to discuss an extension.

Thats a bit surprising, thought he was headed to the Cubs. On a sidenote, $13M a season? Salaries continue to get more and more rediculous.
