It's a great and powerful question to be sure, and perhaps one without a true answer. But NotinHD (I can't give you the link, just type.com after notinhd) gave it a shot... with some fun stipulations.

Here is a sample from that piece...

...

2.) Rogers Hornsby - Second Base - Chicago Cubs

Hornsby revolutionized second base, becoming the game's first power hitting two-bagger. He hit over 20 home runs seven times in his career, topping out at 42 in 1922, when he also hit .402 while winning the National League MVP, his first of three.

Wait... that's right - Hornsby didn't win the MVP in '22, but would have and should have if not for some very bizarre rules. If you don't know the strange history of the award, check it out here.

Hornsby hits in the two-hole based on his adequate but not blazing speed -- he had 134 career stolen bases -- and his freakishly high OBP of .434.

Two MVP awards and two Triple Crowns? Does Hornsby belong on your team? There isn't another player that gets the nod at second on mine, though he did have a little more competition for his job than you might think from Jackie Robinson.
