all-marvel baseball team

here's an old blog i thought i'd share here:

Saw the Spiderman 3 teaser trailer the other night, and it looks pretty cool - especially having Venom (Topher Grace?!?) and the black suit.

I was watching a baseball game at the time, and it got me thinking. Aside from Albert Pujols, what Marvel superheroes would I want on my baseball team? Yes, I'm a dork. Anyway, who would you change out?

position players:
C - the Blob (can't be knocked over by base runners trying to score)
1B - Albert Pujols ;-)
2B - Wolverine (baserunners would think twice about stealing second if he's on the bag)
SS - Spiderman (range, agility - plus, with his web, nothing would get by him)
3B - the Thing (assuming he was agile enogh, any liner he caught would immediately be launched 1st, no question)
Strike that. I'd pick Captain America.
OF - Quicksilver (great speed, range)
OF - Nightcrawler (range - can teleport right under the ball)
OF - Silver Surfer (range)

pitchers (4-man rotation):
SP - the Hulk (helluva fastball)
SP - Colossus (see above)
SP - Magneto (nasty curve, sinker)
SP - Jean Grey (she could probably put some stank on a pitch with that telekinesis thing)
RP - the Punisher (ability to adapt to a variety of pitches, not afraid to throw at a batter if necessary.)
RP - Human Torch (get ready--he can put some heat on it-sorry, couldn't resist)
RP - Thor (throwing that hammer has to have given him some advantage)

specialty/other:
DH - Juggernaut (hate the DH, but would want him hitting for me)
pinch runner - Invisible Girl (how would anyone know when she was stealing?!?)
utility man - Iron Man (can play most positions with decent degree of skill)
1B coach - Dr. Strange (too old to play, but knows the ins & outs of the game)
3B coach - Mr. Fantastic (brainpower would come in handy here, not stretching ability)
manager - Prof. X (mastermind behind it all)
batboy - Rick from the Incredible Hulk (since that's about all he'd be good for)

again, this is an old blog i moved over from my old page. feel free to comment.
