Home grown lineups

[RealityChuck]

OK. We all knew it happened today. What other teams fielded home grown lineups?

I discovered one. On July 26, 1975, the Dodgers fielded:

Davey Lopes 2B
Bill Buckner LF
John Hale CF
Steve Garvey 1B
Willie Crawford RF
Ron Cey 3B
Steve Yeager C
Bill Russell SS
Doug Rau P

And someone found the Pirates did it on April 21, 1971:

Dave Cash, 2b
Richie Hebner, 3b
Roberto Clemente, rf
Willie Stargell, lf
Al Oliver, cf
Bob Robertson, 1b
Manny Sanguillen, c
Gene Alley, ss
Dock Ellis, p

To Retrosheet!

That's a helluva home grown lineup that the Pirates put together there.

I hope, 10 or 15 years from now, that today's Mets lineup looks that impressive.

1935 MFY opening day lineup:

Earle Combs LF
Red Rolfe 3B
George Selkirk RF
Lou Gehrig 1B
Bill Dickey C
Ben Chapman CF
Tony Lazzeri 2B
Frankie Crosetti SS
Lefty Gomez P

Saw someone point out that when the game started all 10 guy on the field were grown by the Mets.

And Reyes went 0-4. And home-grown Heath Bell was the last man standing at the end.

Thanks, homies!

Except that Clemente came via the Dodgers system, so he doesn't really qualify under the strict standards of 'home grown'.
