Everyone has a sense of pride about their name. Given baseball’s rich history, thought I’d develop an all-time team with only Franks. I even got picky as I didn’t stretch into Francis, Franklins, Franciscos, Francos, or even middle names or last names; thus stuck with given first name and went-by names. Which means I passed on K-Rod, John Franco, Julio Franco, and even Herman Franks.
I think these guys could compete … Ladies and Gentlemen … presenting the All-Time BallPark Franks! (with links to their career)

Exceptionally done, Frank.

That is indeed one solid squad. There’s plenty of thunder in the middle of the lineup, too.
Excellent work as always!

David,
Yes, some pop in the middle of the lineup, plus the top 2 set the table! Depth in pitching worries me a bit.
Thanks for the comment!
