Starting Lineup: Joe Torre (C) - should be in as a player, but will probably make it as manager, Mark McGwire (1B), Buddy Myer (2B), Vern Stephens (SS), Ron Santo (3B), Joe Jackson (OF), Albert Belle (OF), and Bob Johnson (OF)

Pitchers: Bret Saberhagen, Eddie Cicotte - that makes two Black Sox, Babe Adams, Sam McDowell, Doc White, Ed Morris, Ron Guidry, Ed Reulbach, John Wetteland - and we don't factor in the postseason, Robb Nen, and Tom Henke

Bench: Reggie Smith (OF), Dick Allen (1B), Bobby Grich (2B), Ken Boyer (3B), and Ted Simmons (C)


The Results

So which team wins?

According to 1,000 simulations of a seven-game series between these two teams, it's the Random HOFers—barely. The Random HOFers won 57.5 percent of the series, with a seven-game series being the most likely result.
