It goes on from there, and it’s an impressive and well-compiled list to be sure. I’ve never considered an All-Jane Austen team, perhaps because of my general distaste for Jane Austen.
Brent Lillibridge, though, would likely also crack the middle infield of my All-Dickens team, which would probably look somewhat similar to the All-Jane Austen team, except the names would be a bit less WASP-y and a bit more, ahh, whimsical I guess?
Candidates for the squad: Lillibridge, Lastings Milledge, Chone Figgins, Norris Hopper, Calvin Pickering (who’s no longer playing but clearly needs to be included), Ty Wigginton, Grady Sizemore, Nolan Reimold, Willie Bloomquist, Taylor Teagarden, Blake Hawksworth, Burke Badenhop.
