    I've been trying to think of an athlete or coach with a color in his last name that also has additional letters in it.

    Sort of like James Whitesnake or Ahman Greenbay.

    Can't think of one.

    Mean Joe Greene

    MLB All-Color Team:

    P Three Finger Brown
    C John Roseboro
    1B Hank Greenberg
    2B Red Schoendienst
    3B Al Rosen
    SS ?
    LF Roy White
    CF Al Oliver
    RF Rusty Staub

    I have given it all the thought I'm willing to and the best SS I can think of is Larry Brown, and Larry Brown sucked. It's possible Pete Rose played an inning or two at SS, but while I could have put him pretty much anywhere else, SS seems like cheating.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    It still leaves the SS looking way up to see any his teammates, but sure, Khalil Greene.

    And the manager of your team with Pete Rose on it could be Pete Rose's former manager, Dallas Green.
