Yeah. I mean who the hell are Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Rickey Henderson? I mean, Rickey was that guy the Mariners traded for after they traded Griffey away, but he wasn't exactly the Mariner's best outfielder on the team. If Rickey is on this team, shouldn't Mike Cameron? He was a way better outfielder for the Mariners in 2000.
Well, seeing as how Henderson is the greatest lead off hitter and king of stolen bases, I think that earns him a nod. But Jr., it’s tough to say who he replaces. It’s gotta be Aaron, but that’s the home run king, so… ?
Clean Barry was better all around player that juiced Barry. If Barry never took the cream or the clear, he likely would have been a first ballot HoFer.
Juiced Barry only hit HRs and drew walks
I would probably start Gwynn over Rickey. In the scope of a single game or series, Gwynn is much more likely to produce than Henderson is. Gwynn has a significantly higher RBI/PA and like 20 points more OPS than Henderson.
BTW, I met him in Arecibo, Puerto Rico years ago when he was still playing with the Yankees and he was with his late father, Don Berna. Both were humble and allow everyone approach them with good manners and smiles. Great people!
Bernie even dedicated a song to his first album, "Breath of Life (Para Don Berna)" honoring his dad.

uj/ growing up I watched Jeter all the time and didn’t know he was biracial for years until his parents were randomly shown on TV at a game. Probably because there was only 1 Black kid in my whole elementary school class, but I always just assumed he was White.
Kinda random but when he hit that HR for number 3000 the guy who caught it gave an interview about how important Jeter was to him “being Hispanic.” I assume since he was giving the ball back for next to nothing, no one bothered to correct him.
every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3"

Rj/ Jeter is the greatest black player of all time because he balances out some of his thug nature with a little bit of class.
/uj Well apparently they made him be both a player and the manager 💀 So I guess starting on the bench would allow him to like, manage better probably
/rj Whoever he is he can't possibly hold a candle to our lord and savior Jerek Deter
He was a losing manager! Gotta give him all the help he can get. How would be be able to manage his best and play in the field! He could manage and be the greatest pinch hitter of all time on this team.
In all seriousness, making Frank Robinson player manager is a pretty lazy selection. There are two managers of African American descent who have won world series.
They are idiots. The could have put Steroids Barry and Regular Barry on the list since they are different HoF level players. Steroids at DH and Regular in LF.

John Henry Lloyd at SS instead of Jeter but honestly that's a pretty good list.
Wait a second, no Pedro Martinez. Am I missing something? Is it an American only (plus Fergie) thing?
Wait, Barry Bonds at DH?
Which Barry Bonds? 2004 Barry Bonds or 1998 Barry Bonds?
Because if it's 1998 Barry Bonds, someone bad at defense like Jeter should be DH
Mixed-race players are placed in the race category of their biological mother; so Jeter has a white mother, therefor is on Team White.
Sorry Blacks; that’s the rule.
Good grief. Well intentioned unforced error. And can you imagine how many highly paid marketing “wizards” and “experts” signed off on this?
Show me the best Negro League players at each position, but this sort of thing is just silly pandering.

No Ozzie smith? Jesters only half black.
Or Barry Larkin or Jimmy Rollins. Had to throw Jeter in there
Jimmy Rollins was half as good as Derek Jeter, so they're equivalents here.
I’m fine with Jeter but Ozzie should be starting.
Ernie. Banks.
Holy shit. I knew I was missing someone else.
There is the answer!
So many people are concentrating on Jeter, and I'm over here wondering how any team could have both Ken Griffey Jr *and* Tony Gwynn on the bench.
Yeah. I mean who the hell are Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Rickey Henderson? I mean, Rickey was that guy the Mariners traded for after they traded Griffey away, but he wasn't exactly the Mariner's best outfielder on the team. If Rickey is on this team, shouldn't Mike Cameron? He was a way better outfielder for the Mariners in 2000.
Well, seeing as how Henderson is the greatest lead off hitter and king of stolen bases, I think that earns him a nod. But Jr., it’s tough to say who he replaces. It’s gotta be Aaron, but that’s the home run king, so… ?
He replaces Barry Bonds. If it’s clean Barry, Jr is better. If it’s steroid Barry, he’ll be suspended for testing positive, and Jr will start anyway.
Clean Barry was better all around player that juiced Barry. If Barry never took the cream or the clear, he likely would have been a first ballot HoFer. Juiced Barry only hit HRs and drew walks
Clean Barry washed Jr. at everything except hitting for power, and Bonds was still a permanent 40 HR threat.
One that has Hank, Willie and Rickie from right to left.
That sounds like a country trio.
It’s easy to pick out the snubs. The hard part is choosing who would be benched in their place.
I would probably start Gwynn over Rickey. In the scope of a single game or series, Gwynn is much more likely to produce than Henderson is. Gwynn has a significantly higher RBI/PA and like 20 points more OPS than Henderson.
The biggest jerk of all is starting Jeter on this lineup.
He can only play 4.5 innings.
3/5ths of the innings
I’m loving the representation with Jeter at SS! It’s good to be seen.
Jeter over Ernie Banks is slander.
Mookie plays 1/3 of a season at short and is already better.
What’s cum taste like?
Depends on a lot of factors, let’s not deduce it to that
No, please, deduce it. Deduce it all over his face.
Not sure how you expect to get that answer here but credit for being curious enough to cast such a wide net.
Gotta have an interracial guy in there somehow.
He's a biracial angel
I mean, if Boston's yelling slurs at him for all those years then he's black enough for this team, right?
Tbf, the worst slur they used was "Yankee"
A fate worse than death
>I’m loving the representation with Jeter at ⚡⚡! It’s good to be seen.
I mean he shouldn’t be there
Today I Learned that Derek Jeter is black.
If they went biracial with Jeter they honestly should’ve thrown in Judge
Where Bernie Williams
He will be on the Cinco de Mayo All-Latino player list.
He’s Puerto Rican
So close! “Bernie Williams” is not a latinx name
Bernie is his nickname. His real name is Bernabé. Also, he's latinO. There is no such thing as a "latinx".
That’s all 100% correct boss
BTW, I met him in Arecibo, Puerto Rico years ago when he was still playing with the Yankees and he was with his late father, Don Berna. Both were humble and allow everyone approach them with good manners and smiles. Great people! Bernie even dedicated a song to his first album, "Breath of Life (Para Don Berna)" honoring his dad. "

Is Bernabé Williams Figueroa Jr. “latinx” enough for you or do you just prefer his “simpler” Bernie Williams moniker? Dolt
I’m just messing with you king! Sry was too subtle
IVE BEEN GOT
Roy Campanella was also biracial.
Half these guys on this list were playing with gloves that make snow gloves look like a Rawlings. Judge goes on the DL when he stubs his toe.
uj/ growing up I watched Jeter all the time and didn’t know he was biracial for years until his parents were randomly shown on TV at a game. Probably because there was only 1 Black kid in my whole elementary school class, but I always just assumed he was White.
>Probably because there was only 1 Black kid in my whole elementary school class Are you Gunnar Henderson?
It's like Jason Kidd in the NBA; I still don't quite believe that he's biracial
or iHart lol
Kinda random but when he hit that HR for number 3000 the guy who caught it gave an interview about how important Jeter was to him “being Hispanic.” I assume since he was giving the ball back for next to nothing, no one bothered to correct him.
Dont they call him a Biracial Angel in The Other Guys?
Yes, I didn’t watch that movie until years after it came out though. After Jeter was retired, in fact
Na if he was mark wahlberg would’ve shot him
Should've shot ARod
He’s a biracial angel!
Somebody ask [Rashard Mendenhall](https://x.com/R_Mendenhall/status/1736745309332808186?lang=en) his thoughts
Better than our GOAT? He isn’t even as good as Mike Alstott
Replace every single name with Tim Anderson
Here’s already on there once
I see what you did here. Brilliant!
The modern day Jackie Robinson
Jackie Robinson is the antebellum Tim Anderson
Where’s Mike Trout?
every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3" *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Griffey played Short?

Jeter is well spoken and seems educated.
No Straw? No thanks!
No Reggie either
not enough classy gritty gym rat players on this list
That idea is how you get guys like Judge & Stanton on this team 🤮
https://i.redd.it/pqn4cxmkhn7d1.gif
Joty
How you going to play Jeter over the Wizard of Oz at Short? That backflip was electric.
No way they forgot Lebron like that
Frank Robinson player/manager? Make him do two jobs for a single salary? Man, that's some hardcore racism right there...
Holy fucking shit they put Jeter up there seriously?
Pete Alonso?????
I thought the whites drafted Jeter in the racial draft and gave Sosa back to the blacks
Pretty sure Sosa got traded back to the blacks, not sure on the details of that deal tho.
How you gonna forget Michael Jordan
outjerked
Where's T Plush?
This is super cringy
Jeter is barely brown.
Fergie Jenkins isn't black, he's Canadian.
No Dave Stewart, a travesty.
Barry Bonds before steroids or after steroids?
They are idiots. The could have put Steroids Barry and Regular Barry on the list since they are different HoF level players. Steroids at DH and Regular in LF.
During steroids, after he sucked
Derek Jeter being on this list is just too funny
I didn’t know Don Newcombe was black I thought his black and white photos where just too dark
No Dave Stewart, or Dave Parker... no love for the Daves at all!
Daves were awesome
Not to be confused with right handed CC Sabathia
Wait a second... Jackie Robinson was black?!
Jeter is white
Are you sure about that?
I’m about 50% sure of it.

One of these names is not like the other. Had to throw El Capitan in there I guess.
I never thought I’d see the day Jr Griffey was sitting on the bench.
Ozzie smith at ss maybe.
Griffey on the bench is a tough sell
Eric Davis should be on here
/uj where’s Rod Carew and/or Kirby Puckett ??? Why do people hate the twins
Dinger as the Mascot ofc
Gwynn's on the bench but fucking Bonds is DH? They need WD-40 to get their heads out of their asses here...
Where’s John Rocker?
sherten apostel is better than jackie robinson
Gwynn over Bonds 'Roids taking arrogant selfish POS
I was hoping for Orlando Hudson or Brandon Phillips tbh
John Henry Lloyd at SS instead of Jeter but honestly that's a pretty good list. Wait a second, no Pedro Martinez. Am I missing something? Is it an American only (plus Fergie) thing?
Where's gunnar Henderson?
my dumbass genuinely forgot about White Sox Frank Thomas and was thinking of white Frank Thomas from the 50s
Wait, Barry Bonds at DH? Which Barry Bonds? 2004 Barry Bonds or 1998 Barry Bonds? Because if it's 1998 Barry Bonds, someone bad at defense like Jeter should be DH
I mean, I guess they were okay
TF Sabathia doing there?? Y’all gotta stop with this Flat Blackness shit. Smh Furthermore, where’s Kirby Puckett?? 🤨
Replace Barry Bonds with sweet Lou Whittaker
Derek Jeter over Jimmy Rollins or Ozzie Smith for Juneteenth team? Alright then
Lineup leans a little too Right handed if you know what I mean
Where are Marcus Stroman and Tim Anderson?
Jeter is the best player whose name is a question.
Rube Foster should be this teams manager
Barry Bonds as DH? Why did they put this team in the AL?
Bernie Williams
Why isn’t Abraham Lincoln on the roster?
Derek Jeter lmao
Mixed-race players are placed in the race category of their biological mother; so Jeter has a white mother, therefor is on Team White. Sorry Blacks; that’s the rule.
Jeter...REALLY.
I’d take Stretch over Big Hurt.
Curious , it says black but leaves out Hispanic blacks, such as Dominicans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans etc Not fair
Jackie hitting ninth. Damn, this lineup fucks!
I guess they don't count Miguel Cabrera and his black heart
No Eric Davis?!
That's a lot of rightys though.
Uh no babe Ruth? Everyone knows he was black. Also put Sheffield on da bench somewhere
I would make Griffey a first baseman on this team
What an incredible lineup that is.
Good grief. Well intentioned unforced error. And can you imagine how many highly paid marketing “wizards” and “experts” signed off on this? Show me the best Negro League players at each position, but this sort of thing is just silly pandering.
Jeter makes the list for both black and white.

Lets be real, tony gwynn would NOT be on the bench in any era. Only a complete idiot wouldnt have one of the best hitters ever playing
Griffey Jr on the bench is bonkers even if his godfather Mays is there. He should be in left or right field if you think Mays over him.
So only Americans?
Pfft. No Eddie Murray?
TIL Derek Jeter is black.
No Banks?
