I think something needs to be said, before we get into the preseason, about the Ballclub and what it stands for, its perspective on the league. I guess this'll become clear enough over time. I don't want to say anything that sealed-up and conclusive here, so I thought I'd pull together a list of players that are Ballclub Players. Taken collectively they represent whatever ethos we're gunning for here. Like all my ideas,
it's not an original one, but I think it's a worthy project to set down what it is we're trying to do here.
It's no supposed to be the best players, which would be boring, and who am I to say? Or even my personal favorites at any given time, because who cares. It's just the All-Ballclub Team. We'll let you decide what it adds up to.

It's safe to say that the most Ballclub pitcher in the league is Dontrelle Willis. The most Ballclub position player is without question Jose Reyes. Here's the rest of the list in alphabetical order.
- Carlos Beltran
- Milton Bradley
- Mike Cameron
- Robinson Cano
- Endy Chavez
- Shin-Shoo Choo
- Carl Crawford
- Coco Crisp
- Carlos Delgado
- Jermain Dye
- Adam Everett
- Sal Fasano
- Prince Fielder
- Nomar Garciaparra
- Bill Hall
- Felix Hernandez
- Orlando Hernandez
- Ryan Howard
- Torii Hunter
- Ichiro
- Francisco Liriano
- Pedro Martinez
- Joe Mauer
- David Ortiz
- Jonathan Papelbon
- Jose Reyes
- Mariano Rivera
- Francisco Rodriguez
- C.C. Sabathia
- Reggie Sanders
- Ervin Santana
- Johan Santana

- Joel Zumaya
- Bill "Spaceman" Lee (member emeritus)
So, you ask, who would be the least Ballclub player in the league? That's a good question, and there's a lot of ways to answer it, but for now let's say Jeff Kent.
