The Ultimate Fictional Baseball Team

What happens when you assemble the best fictional baseball players and coaches from movie history? This team.

Center field: Willie Mays Hayes

Center field: Willie Mays Hayes

The showboating center fielder showed up to Indians spring training in 1989 without an invite and managed to earn a roster spot based solely on his blazing speed. Willie is the ideal leadoff hitter when he keeps the ball on the ground and is a threat to steal any base. Basically, he's the equivalent of Rickey Henderson, except he doesn't speak about himself in the third person.

Shortstop: Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez

Benny is the most versatile player on the squad. He can play, and excel, at any position on the diamond. His speed and patience at the plate make him an ideal No. 2 hitter. Having The Jet and Willie Mayes Hayes on the base at the same time would wreak havoc on the base path.

Right Field: Roy Hobbs

Right Field: Roy Hobbs

Roy Hobbs was arguably the greatest pure baseball player in the history of our unreal baseball universe. This is a guy that struck out the equivalent of Babe Ruth and hit Mickey Mantle-esque home runs. Who else would you rather have hitting in the three-hole?
