IRREFUTABLE ROSTER OF CHARACTERS
FROM CLASSIC NINTENDO GAMES

Every offseason, I try to gather the best fantasy-baseball advice from around the globe so I can bring it to you, the sexy reader, in a nice bow-wrapped, joke-infused bundle. I scour the Web for advice, send carrier pigeons to the Far East (heavy gifts tied to their toes as compensation for their wisdom), and e-mail the great analytical minds around today. And this year, as usual, all of my queries have gone unanswered. Thus, I've had to write an e-mail to the only baseball expert who truly cares: myself.

Dear Rick:

What would your ideal fantasy-baseball lineup be if you had to create it using only characters from classic Nintendo video games?

Yours truly,
Rick

I guess with a starting rotation like that you don't need any setup men. If you click the link it gives you about a paragraph on each player.
