The Hot Stove League heats up with the inaugural Field of Dreams Barnstorming Series, where anything's possible and everyone's on a first-name basis. It's the Sparkies, managed by the late Captain Hook, vs the Bucks, managed by the the only legend to be nicknamed for his post-game habit of lingering in the clubhouse buck naked.
The rules are simple: Each team brings eight position players and five starting pitchers. Five games will be played. No substitutions are allowed. Each pitcher must pitch a complete game, regardless of the score or pitch count.
Study the rosters. Then, based upon your intimate knowledge of baseball history, statistical acumen, and deep appreciation of the always important intangibles (glove size, will they show up in shape or sober?), let us know in the poll below how this will play out.
