Manager: Larry Bowa or Charlie Fox
1B: Andres (Big Cat) Galarraga, Johnny (Big Cat) Mize, Moose Skowron,
Jimmie Foxx, Rob Deer Announcer: Jack Buck
Just make sure to keep them away from Enos Slaughter!
3B: Ron "Penguin" Cey
Maybe it's stretching it to call a wild horse a pet (though no worse than a cobra!), so we nominate The Wild Horse of the Osage, Pepper Martin (OF/3B). And his teammate from the Gas House gang, "Ducky" Medwick (OF). Then there's Jim "Kitty" Kaat (LHP) and Andres "Big Cat" Galarraga (1B). Also, in the manner of Minute Maid Park being nicknamed
"The Juice Box," my sister suggests Petco Field be popularly called "The Litter Box."
Steve Lyons
I think you missed the obvious choice for mascot. With this being a San Diego ballpark, what about "The Chicken," who actually began as a Padres mascot?
Orel "Bulldog" Hersheiser
Chris "Mad Dog" Russo for announcer
How could you forget Phil "The Vulture" Regan? Sandy Koufax tagged him with that nickname in 1966 during Regan's 14-1 season for his ability to pick up wins from the carrion of starts abandoned by Dodger pitchers.
How about Moose Skowron at first base, Nellie Fox at second base, Lance (One Dog) Johnson in center field, Socks Seybold in right field, Orel (Bull Dog) Hershiser the starting pitcher and Sparky Anderson the manager? And, on the off chance somebody has one as a pet, Oyster Burns in right field (which would qualify Tim Salmon, for that matter).
No respect for the mid-'80s Cubs?
1B: Bill "Moose" Skowron"
Bench And I've never heard it before, but what about:
SS/manager: Larry Bowa "Constrictor"?
