The Literary All-Stars

February 11, 2011 · 2 comments

Several years ago, I published this list on the now-defunct fastball.com. Resubmitted for your consideration in case you missed it the first time around.

UPDATE: Feb, 14 –An alert reader noted that Josh Beckett might have been a better chocie than the short-careered Robbie. Just goes to show how long ago I created this list.

Pitchers
Robbie “Samuel” Beckett
Craig “Larry” McMurtry
Jerry “Saint” Augustine
Rogers “Samuel” Clemens (aka Mark Twain)
Sheriff “William” Blake
Catcher
Mike “F. Scott” Fitzgerald
First base
Bud “Tom” Clancy
Second Base
Ed “Ernest” Hemingway (Sorry, no photo)
Shortstop
Bill “Bertrand” Russell
Third Base
Bill “James” Joyce
Outfield
Buster “Henry” Adams
Dion “Henry” James
Chick “Stephen” King
Manager
Charley “Brothers” Grimm

I’ve never heard of Robbie Beckett. These days, perhaps Josh would be a better choice.

Good point, Regina. Just goes to show how long ago I wrote this list.
