"Today's baseball stars are all guys named Rodriguez to me."

So rants Andy Rooney. As it happens, there are lots of Rodriguezes. Lots of Ramirezes, too, which is a name that's easy to confuse with Rodriguez if they're all named Rodriguez to you.

It got me thinking: what's the best All-Time Name Team that could be created?

1B: Rodriguez
2B: Rodriguez
3B: Rodriguez
and so forth.

I don't really want to do the work on this, but I think a squad of Williamses could beat a squad of Rodriguezes or Ramirezes or any other names. Off the top of my head:

LF: Ted Williams
CF: Bernie Williams
3B: Billy Williams
1B: Matt Williams (since 3rd base is taken)
SP: Woody Williams

There are two Hall of Famers named Collins; two Gibsons; two Hubbards (one's an ump); two Jacksons; a Kell, a Kelly, and two Kelleys -- which ought to count for something; four Robinsons (a ha!); two Smiths; and three Williamses.

If I do another post on this, I'll envision one game of Williamses versus Robinsons, winner-take-nothing.
