The All Mackey Sasser Team

http://thesportspoint.blogspot.com/2008/02/all-mackey-sasser-team.html

When I was growing up Mackey Sasser, a catcher for the Mets from 1987-95 and later for the Giants, was one of those baseball cards no one wanted. So of course when you rushed to open your new pack of baseball cards inevitably you would end up with at least one Mackey Sasser card for every two packs you opened. As a result Mackey was used as a throw in for some of the most legendary baseball card trades ever transacted in my neighborhood.

He was not the only baseball card that was constantly on the trading block, in fact there were enough of these guys around to construct an entire expansion franchise. In honor of our second rate childhood idles we have come up with the All-Mackey Sasser Team, comprised of guys who might not be good enough for Cooperstown, but are legends in the minds of TSP. The team will be announced position by position over the course of the next couple weeks.
