I wonder how the Chicago team would do against a team from L.A., or maybe San Fransisco. Mick, if I don't get my drywalling project done I'm blaming you ;) :)

Anders Whist has an All-SF team I'll post over the next few days. Nobody has claimed LA yet, I don't think, though I imagined Eric Davis and Darryl Strawberry would be a nice start to the OF.

If only team LA and team Oakland could be combined. LA has the players you mentioned and HOFers Tony Gwynn, Bobby Doerr, and Duke Snyder but Dock Ellis may be their ace, while Oakland gets Dave Stewart, Dontrelle Willis, and Dennis Eckersley, but I think that their only offensive HOF is Ernie Lombardi.
