Might I direct you to the 1995 squad, which was exceptionally deep in the OF: Ron Gant, Reggie Sanders, Thomas Howard, Darren Lewis, Jerome Walton, Eric Anthony, Brian R. Hunter...even INF's Lenny Harris and Mariano Duncan could capably fill in at a corner OF spot.

Hard to believe its been 25 years. I watched this in my dorm lobby with a whole bunch of other college kids.Rose will never be my favorite human being but if I live to 100 years old he will always be favorite baseball player.
