Birthday June 1 All-Time Teams
It's not a team that's going to win a lot of ballgames, but the guys born on June 1 include a couple of names we know.
| POS | NAME | YRS |
|---|---|---|
| C | Hank Severeid | 1911-1926 |
| 1B | Al Niehaus | 1925 |
| 2B | Bill Eagan | 1891, 1893, 1898 |
| 3B | Ken McMullen | 1962-1977 |
| SS | Andy Leonard | 1871-1880 |
| LF | Brad Wilkerson | 2001-2005 |
| CF | Johnny Mostil | 1918, 1921-1929 |
| RF | Jo-Jo White | 1932-1938, 1943-1944 |
| DH | Bud Metheny | 1943-1946 |
| SP | Carlos Zambrano | 2001-2005 |
| RP | Dean Chance | 1961-1971 |
The top of the order is passable with Johnny Mostil and a career .383 OBP and 176 steals leading off. Jo-Jo White also has average skills at the top with a .353 OBP and a few steals here and there. But they're going to need Brad Wilkerson to drive them in because after that the team is devoid of any power. Hank Severeid gives the team a 15 year vet behind the plate and he did hit at least .300 5 times, but his career high for homers is 4 and he finished with just 17 in 4312 AB's. There are a couple of old-school guys here with the middle infield, Andy Leonard and Bill Eagan, coming straight from the 1800's. The pitching staff was deep enough to leave a couple of decent guys off including Derek Lowe. Carlos Zambrano is a guy we all know who's just starting out on what could be a very good career. Dean Chance was used mostly as a starter in his career, but did have about 100 relief appearances in over 400 career games with a 128-115 record and 2.92 ERA.
