baseball: which world series team could you and your friends defeat?

[zuma]

Assuming you could assemble a group of friends and close aquaintances, and choose the latest world series winner to compete in a 7-game series, what would that team be?

I think my friends and I could take the 1979 pirates. They’d all be late-40s and out of shape by now. I could probably hit blyleven, and perhaps blow some heat past Madlock.

Assume any dead team members were still alive, and forgive the silliness of this question.
On a related note, I could probably win a boxing match right now against the greatest, muhammad ali.

I could outrun Jesse Owens.

However, I’d wager some $$$ that the Mad-Dog could still catch up with your heater.

Hmmm…given the skills of the people I know…I’d have to go with the 1920 Cleveland Indians. Even I play better than someone 100 years old.

The youngest members of the 1979 Pirates are Dale Berra and Don Robinson who are both 44 now. Bill Madlock is 50 as is Bert Blyleven.

Willie Stargell would be easy to pitch to.

The 1995 Braves. Seriously, they choke every other year, so this team has to be ready to cough up the series by now.

The London Kings, before they signed Bokai.
