Not disagreeing with you, but I think what many of us run into in these debates is that some of these teams we were around during our growth years & thus their players were are heros, while other teams may technically be better but you didn't emotionally connect with at the same level
No, only one guy made it to the bigs from that lineup, Jon Shave(pete young doesn't count he made it as a pitcher). However, 1-9 it was the best offense we ever had. There were no holes and had depth on the bench that allowed moves during the course of the game. 85 had Clark and Palmeiro, but 6-9 were a green john Mitchell, (who was a tr fr who ended up being a good player) and 3 damn near auto outs. No depth. I agree 16 was a good one and i would put it up their close but not equal to 89, but ahead of 85 for sure.
