I have no idea if it'd be more "interesting to watch." That's entirely up to personal preference. I'm 100% certain that it'd be the better lineup that produces more runs and thus more wins, though.Quote:

Well I was talking 9 Bonds vs. a "traditional lineup", but, even so, I don't see how 9 Hendersons would be better than 9 Bonds. The Bonds lineup would use less outs, AND would have a ridiculous power advantage. The Henderson lineup would just have an advantage in number of stolen bases, but that's moot due to the huge advantage in power that the Bonds lineup would have.Quote:

If you put Babe Ruth into todays World, he would still be great. If you put Ichiro in the MLB at age 22 he would still be great. Gwynn is also great.
I also voted for Ichiro because given a full career, I think Ichiro would be better.
This isn't necessarily true. Tuffy Rhodes is a great player...in Japan...but terrible in the MLB.Quote:
