up for the day anyone want to take a guess

 

[criollos]

Ok Chief, I might be way off, as I'm not sure I would have the right era,but here are some guesses

1st base Vic Power
2nd base Nelly Fox
3rd base Eddie Mathews
SS
LF
CF Willie Mays
RF Al Kaline
Catcher Elston Howard
Pitcher Warren Spahn



Would like to put Mantle somewhere, but not in CF ahead of Mays.

Nope none of the above
Everyone who is on the first team of golden glove awards played in 1957

Oh, well, thanks anyway! Can I get my money back? just kidding.

I think all those guys played in '57, maybe Drysdale didn't, do you know which ones?

 

[mm1sub]

From everything I have ever heard or read Gil Hodges has to be the guy at first base. Him, Mattingly, and Keith Hernandez I have always heard were in a class by themselves as defensive first basemen.

Yes I do the one who I got an auto graph ball off of has it pictured frame with each player which was given to him by Rawlings

Correct on Hodges here is another little hint 3 played in the National League and 6 played in the American league

 

[mrmopar]

Sherm Lollar at C
Luis Aparicio at SS

 

[valediction]

LF Minnie Minoso
3B Frank Malzone
can't remember the rest of the unguessed ones

(As a kid I had a Baseball Digest or other article that listed all the winners up to that point, I tried to memorize them all, as you can see, I never got there)

3B Frank Malzone

I'm pretty sure Minoso is correct, heck of a player. How about Ken Boyer for third?

 

[chieftazmisty]

You were right with Minnie minoso but Boyer was not the 3rd baseman

 

[criollos]

C'mon, Ol' Geezers.........help us figure out the SS, 3B, and Pitcher to answer this Trivia Question.

 

[bonzomoretti]

Sandy Koufax at P and Roy McMillan at SS?

 

[chieftazmisty]

Sandy Koufax at P and Roy McMillan at SS?

You got one of two
Koufax was not the pitcher
Sandy didn't come into his until the early sixties

 

[Meliah]

I think valediction got the 3B in an earlier post.

 

[chieftazmisty]

I think valediction got the 3B in an earlier post.

You are correct on that Sorry I missed that one he is the one who I got the Autograph ball from I will make the correction on the thread

 

[mrmopar]

So we have an AL pitcher left. Whitey Ford?

Broke down and looked. Not Whitey.
