By Decade...

Okay, since we're all in this All-Time Team mode...let's go with All-Decade teams, starting with the 1970s. Any player from that decade...fill out a starting 8, Utility, DH, and four man rotation, with your closer.

Once again...the 70s. Disco demolition night. White Sox and softball shorts. "We Are Family" Pirates. The Big Red Machine. The Oakland "Hairs". Artificial surfaces in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Montreal, Philadelphia, Kansas City, St. Louis, Seattle, Houston, Toronto. Atlanta and Cincinnati were in the "West". Chicago was in the "East".

Have at it.

Randall - look closely - I only mentioned Atlanta and Cincinnati in the West. St. Louis, in the post above, was mentioned as a club with artificial surfaces in the 70s...
