The All-Century Team

The All-Century was a team that was voted on by fans, baseball writers, and other baseball-related people, and it was an attempt to create the greatest team of the 20th century. It is a combination of six pitchers, two players from each infield position, and nine outfielders.

However, there is a slight discrepancy as to the number of players from each position. When the team was announced, baseball experts chose five other players that they felt should have been on the team, but were not voted in.
