A Hall of Fame Lineup of MLB Stars Whose Lat Names Start With M

Of the twenty six letters in our alphabet, M starts more Hall of Famers than any of the others. Check out this lineup of MLB stars whose last names start with M. Then consider that guys as great as Munson, Madlock, Murray, and many others could not crack this lineup.

First Base - Willie McCovey: The Hall of Famer cranked over 500 career homers and was one of the best clutch hitters ever.

Second Base - Joe Morgan: The sparkplug in the Big Red Machine won two MVPs, hit for power, and swiped bases at will.

Shortstop - John McGraw: He led Baltimore with a .333 BA and over career 400 steals, including 72 in 1899.

Third Base - Eddie Matthews: The fourth Hall of Famer in this infield had tremendous power while spending the bulk of his playing career with the Braves.

Catcher - Joe Mauer: The Twins backstop has the sweetest swing in the game today, winning three batting titles in four years.

Outfield 1 - Willie Mays: The Say Hey Kid could do it all. He hit for power, hit for a high average, played sparkling defense, and he could run.

Outfield 2 - Mickey Mantle: The Hall of Fame was the greatest switch-hitter ever, leading the Yankees to several World Series championships.

Outfield 3 - Stan Musial: This Cardinals legend crushed over 400 homers and maintained a lifetime batting average over .330.

Designated Hitter - Mark Mcguire: Though often injured, Big Mac was the prototypical power hitter. He slammed over 500 dingers, and he became the first man to hit more than 61 in a single season.

Pitcher 1 - Juan Marichal: His high leg kick was his trademark, and his stats were his key to the Hall of Fame. He won a lot of games, struck out a lot of hitters, and posted a low career ERA.

Pitcher 2 - Greg Maddux: Maddux accumulated 300 career wins without the power associated with most Hall of Fame hurlers. He did it with intelligence and outstanding control.

Pitcher 3 - Pedro Martinez: The greatest pitcher of the 90s and early 00s, Martinez led the Red Sox to the post season several times while dominating the league's ERA title.

Relief Pitcher - Tug McGraw: The father of a country music star, Tug was the closer on the 1980 World Series Champion Phillies. His career ERA was just over 2.00.
