All-Fish Lineup

The Angels have a talented young player by the name of Mike Trout, who got me to thinking how hard it would be to construct a baseball lineup composed of players who are named after fish. Here, with a little help from Lookout Landing, is what I’ve come up with. The years are the time the player spent in the majors. No Catfish Hunter though: that’s a nickname.

• 1B — Sid Bream (1983-1994)
• 2B — Johnny Ray (1981-1990)
• SS — Bobby Sturgeon (1940-1948)
• 3B — Art Garibaldi (1936)
• RF — Tim Salmon (1992-2006, another Angels favorite).
• CF — Mike Trout (2011-2012)
• LF — Mike Carp (2009-2012)
• C — Carlton Fisk (1969-1994, fisk=fish in Scandinavian languages)
• SP — Steve Trout (1978-1989)
• RP — Anthony Bass (2011-2012)
