    What would be the 1 jersey or favorite player from every MLB team

    I did this one day at work when I was bored. I think it would be fun to see different peoples opinions on the subject. Here is my list of jerseys if I could only have 1 jersey from each team what would it be. It is a hard list to make. I went back and forth with more than a couple and probably forgot someone that I should have put on my list.I think my list really shows my age.

    Atlanta Braves- Hank Aaron
    Miami Marlins- Giancarlo Stanton
    New York Mets - Tom Seaver
    Philadelphia Phillies - Steve Carlton
    Washington Nationals- Max Scherzer
    Chicago Cubs- Bruce Sutter
    Cincinnati Reds- Johnny Bench
    Milwaukee Brewers- Robin Yount
    Pittsburgh Pirates- Kent Tekulve
    St. Louis Cardinals- Ozzy Smith
    Arizona Diamondbacks- Randy Johnson
    Colorado Rockies- Todd Helton
    Los Angeles Dodgers- Sandy Koufax
    San Diego Padres- Tony Gwynn
    San Francisco Giants- Willie McCovey
    Baltimore Orioles Brooks Robinson
    Boston Red Sox Ted Williams
    New York Yankees- Lou Gerig
    Tampa Bay Rays- Evan Longoria
    Chicago White Sox- Joe Jackson
    Cleveland Indians- Bob Feller
    Detroit Tigers Mark Fidrych
    Kansas City Royals- George Brett
    Minnesota Twins- Rod Carew
    Toronto Blue Jays-Dave Stieb
    Houston Astros - Nolan Ryan
    Los Angeles Angels-Mike Trout
    Oakland Athletics- Rollie Fingers
    Seattle Mariners - Ken Griffey Jr.
    Texas Ranger- Pudge Rodriguez
    Montreal Expos- Gary Carter
    Washington Senators- Walter Johnson

    Hopefully I didn't leave any teams off. If so feel free to add them to yours.

    I thought of the browns but didn't know of any players. I didn't realize that is who Eddie played for. Nice one.

    Re: What would be the 1 jersey or favorite player from every MLB team

    1. Ozzie Smith Cardinals
    2. Derrick Jeter, Yankees
    3. Earl Averill, Indians
    4. Paul Molitor, Brewers
    5. George Brett, Royals
    6. Al Kaline, Tigers
    7. Craig Biggio, Astros
    8. Cal Ripken, Jr., Orioles
    9. Ted Williams, Red Sox
    10. Lefty Grove, A's
    11. Barry Larkin, Reds
    14. Ernie Banks, Cubs
    16. Jose Fernandez, Marlins
    17. Todd Helton, Rockies
    18. Ben Zobrist, Rays
    19. Tony Gwynn, Padres
    20. Luis Gonzalez, Diamondbacks
    21. Roberto Clemente, Pirates
    24. Willie Mays, Giants
    27. Mike Trout, Angels
    29. Adrian Beltre, Rangers
    30. Tim Raines, Expos
    31. Max Scherzer, Nationals
    32. Steve Carlton, Phillies
    34. Kirby Puckett, Twins
    35. Frank Thomas, White Sox
    37. Dave Steib, Blue Jays
    41. Tom Seaver, Mets
    42. Jackie Robinson, Dodgers
    44. Hank Aaron, Braves
    51. Ichiro Suzuki, Mariners

    Screwed up a few of them looking for balance and fit-- 19 is a difficult pull, with Votto, Yount, Feller, and Gwynn all wearing it. 24 is impossible. Mays v. Bonds is similarly impossible. Ruth or Jeter?

    Re: What would be the 1 jersey or favorite player from every MLB team

    1. Cincinnati Reds: This is tough: Bench or Larkin. Nod to Larkin as i grew up in the 80s and 90s.
    2. Atlanta Braves: Easy. Hank Aaron
    3. Seattle Mariners: Easy. Ken Griffey Jr
    4. Oakland A’s: Dennis Eckersley. Loved watching him pitch.
    5. New York Yankees: I would never. But if I had to: Rickey Henderson as I had to pick Eckersley for the A’s.
    6. Boston Red Sox: Pedro Martinez gets the nod over some greats that I never saw Play.
    7. LA Dodgers: Jackie Robinson (though I never saw play) beats out Orel Hershiser for obvious reasons.
    8. NY Mets: Keith Hernandez beats out Seaver and Strawberry. Strictly for Seinfeld purposes
    9. Cleveland Indians: Francisco Lindor. We’re still trading for him, right? He’s good.
    10. Texas Rangers: Easy. Nolan Ryan. Though I did love some Pudge.
    11. Anaheim Angels: Trout maybe best ever
    12. Washington Nationals: Easy. Vladimir Guerrero (including expos)
    13. Houston Astros. Easy only repeat here: Nolan Ryan.
    14. St Louis Cardinals: would never. But if I had to: Easy. Tino Martinez. They hated him.
    15. Chicago Cubs: again. Would never. Ryne Sandberg
    16. Chicago White Sox: Big Hurt. Honorable mention to shoeless joe as he deserves the HOF
    17. Pittsburgh Pirates: Dave Parker
    18. San Diego Padres: this team has few options. Toby Gwynn is a hands down winner.
    19. San Francisco Giants: Barry Bonds. I already own one and I don’t feel like dropping another $100 on another
    20. Philadelphia Phillies: Hate the Phillies buy I kind of want all of these: Mike Schmidt. (From Dayton). Jim Bunning from my neighboring Southgate. Grover Cleveland Alexander (line up For yesterday) or my choice here Pete Rose.
    21. Toronto Blue Jays: Roy Holladay. Gone too early and was fun to watch.
    22. Detroit Tigers: Ty Cobb: never saw him play but amazing. And it would match my Randall Cobb Packers jersey.
    23. Tampa Bay Rays: Carl Crawford. Just liked his game.
    24. Miami Marlins: Miguel Cabrera. Not many as good as he in his prime.
    25. Minnesota Twins: easy. Kirby Puckett
    26. Baltimore Orioles: Cal Ripken Jr. didn’t appreciate him enough as a kid. Now as a manager it’s a rare skill to come to work everyday.
    27. Milwaukee Brewers: Rollie Fingers. I like his game his mustache and I like the ideas of a Fingers on my back.
    28. Arizona Diamondbacks: Easy. Randy Johnson. Favorite Starting Pitcher ever.
    29. Colorado Rockies: Can you buy any jersey other than Todd Helton?
    30. KC Royals: This is tough but Bo knows baseball. Bret Saberhagen a close second.

    This was definitely enjoyable and I may hunt down a few jerseys now.

    For the Reds, Ted Kluszewski's 18 in this uniform:


    He may also be the answer for the Angels:


    An for the Reds an alternative would be Bench circa 1969

    Re: What would be the 1 jersey or favorite player from every MLB team

    Choosing the most iconic uniform to match the team's most iconic player would be interesting. I think I've developed a fondness for the mid-70s Reds, but the late 60's early 70's uniforms are awesome too. That said, I just have a hard time thinking of a Larkin or Eric Davis uniform based on Dave Bristol's teams.
