Racist Ty Cobb would hit second (center field, career batting average = .366, #2 in runs), fucking Ted Williams would hit third (right field), Babe Ruth at cleanup (DH, hits for power), Lou Gehrig, fifth (1B), Cal Ripkin sixth (SS), Eddie Collins seventh (2B, http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.php?p=collied01), Yogi Berra eighth (cacther), Wade Boggs (Third base, 9th).
