Could we include the Taiwanese Little League Team players too? BTW, with all of those Great Taiwanese Little Leaguers, isn't it amazing that not ONE SINGLE one of them since the early 70's has EVER made it to the Big Leagues? Or do they all go to Japan? :)

That's what makes Murphy a hall of famer in my book, he's the only guy to play in 10 different centuries.
The down side is he averaged less than 1 homer every 2 years.

He led the league in home runs the next year (1067). Of course home runs in that day meant decapitating a fellow with your long bat (or club). .... Funny stuff guys.

I played in the Little League WS in 1977.

I'd like to see my card added. :D

I pitched, played RF and even caught a game or 2.

Contrary to his good guy image cultivated centuries later, he had an affair with Queen Emma, wife of Ethelred the Unready. Our guy was ready. :D

Visick, did you really play in the Little League World Series, or the Little League World Series tournament? Former Browns' quarterback Brian Sipe was a catcher in the Little League World Series.

49 Ted Williams (Triple Crown)

Seriously? We call this All Time Greats and yet still do not have a guy's triple crown year???????????
Also think it is a shame andycummings was able to name so many MVP winners who are missing from the set.
