The Elysian Fields Greatest team of All-Time

All-Stars? Did somebody say it’s time for an All-Star Game?

How about this team, which obviously plays home games somewhere in the corn fields of Iowa. This has to be the Greatest Team of All-Time and don’t even try to argue the 1927 New York Yankees or the Big Red Machine.

Come on, this team has it all:  great pitching, speed and incredible power, especially at the last moment with the game on the line.

Let’s face it, some of the All-Stars have come through with some of the biggest hits in the history of baseball, whether it was a home run that blew out the lights above the right field stands or a bunt down the third baseline.

Lot of catchers on this team too. Why is that?
