Marty Noble has posted his all decade team. It was a weird decade, any for any of us who have made a list some choices are obvious (Piazza, Reyes, Wright) and some positions are thin (outfield, second).
Meanwhile, MSG is working on this:
“The Lineup: New York’s All-Time Best Baseball Players†will premiere on Tuesday, March 23 at 10:30 p.m. ET on MSG Network with “Catchers,†the first of ten weekly episodes. Each 30-minute episode of “The Lineup†will present a number of nominees for consideration at each position, from the Yankees, Mets, New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers, with one episode dedicated to the best New York manager of all-time. MSG’s Fran Healy will host a panel, consisting of Hall of Fame Mets catcher Gary Carter, former Yankee bullpen ace Sparky Lyle, New York Magazine contributing editor and baseball aficionado Will Leitch, and executive vice president of the Elias Sports Bureau Steve Hirdt. The panel will whittle down a larger list of players from each position and determine the top five from each spot on the diamond. By the end of each episode, they will crown the top player at each position and name him to the official “Lineup†card.
The first episode of The Lineup airs on Tuesday, March 23rd at 10:30 p.m. ET on MSG Network, but you can already head over to MSG.com/lineup and make your picks for the best catcher in NY baseball history. Piazza? Posada? Yogi Berra?
Wow that’s gonna be hard for the Mets. Â Can you ignore Yogi’s 10 rings and pick Piazza? Â Kinda hard to put Lee Mazzilli over Ruth/DiMaggio/Mays. Â Kinda hard to put Keith over Gehrig.
Help us Tom Seaver, you’re our only hope.
