Fictional Fantasy Baseball

I recently drove from Silesia to Fort Knox, KY. The trip took about 10 hours including a couple stops for gas, lunch, and a little traffic. Along the way I had a lot of time alone in the car to just let my mind wander about crazy subjects. I think when passed Marshall University in West Virginia I thought about how great the movie We Are Marshall was. I started thinking about some of my other favorite sports movies. Then I thought about if I were to put a team together of sports movies characters, who would be on it? This was a lot of fun and passed the time very well.

Here is what i came up with.
