Plus, she will have Captain Sisko&#8217;s back.<br \/>\n9. right fielder &#8211; Chief Miles O&#8217;Brien, because he is scrappy and a good team player.<br \/>\nU. umpire &#8211; Odo, because he would make fair calls.<br \/>\nM. manager &#8211; Dr. Julian Bashir, because he can give guidance and not have to get dirty in the field with the players.<\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Raven<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Manager &#8211; James Kirk, because he likes telling everyone want to do.<\/div>\n<div>Pitcher &#8211; Data, because he could use his programming to learn all possible pitches and batter weaknesses.<\/div>\n<div>Catcher &#8211; Worf\u00a0 because he is too big to knock over.<\/div>\n<div>First Base &#8211; Jean-Luc Picard, because he just stands around looking classy while waiting for the ball.<\/div>\n<div>Second Base &#8211; William Riker. because second base should be played by a second star.<\/div>\n<div>Shortstop &#8211; Khan, because even though he&#8217;s a villain dictator, he always wanted to be picked for the sandlot team.<\/div>\n<div>Third Base\u00a0&#8211; Seven, because her Borg side has a great throwing arm.<\/div>\n<div>Left Field &#8211; Spock, because left field is always your worse\u00a0player and I&#8217;m pretty sure Spock never played sports.<\/div>\n<div>Right Field &#8211; Kathryn Janeway, because you can&#8217;t leave out your first female Captain and right field is not much harder than left field.<\/div>\n<div>Center Field &#8211; Wesley Crusher, because neither Spock nor Janeway can catch or throw\u00a0a ball and Crusher is young enough and fast enough to cover the whole outfield.<\/div>\n<div>Umpire &#8211; Lt. Uhura, because they never let her play with the boys.<\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Kevin<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"m_-4907958693280524084aolmail_MsoNormal\">1. pitcher \u2013 Benjamin Sisko \u2013 He knows how to grip a baseball. He keeps one on his desk!<br \/>\n2. catcher &#8211; Worf &#8211; He\u2019d be great! \u00a0All he would have to do is snarl. The guy on first wouldn\u2019t even step off the bag, let alone try to steal second. And would you try running over Worf to touch home plate?<br \/>\n3. first baseman \u2013 Jonathan Archer \u2013 He\u2019s a solid, dependable person to have here.<br \/>\n4. second baseman \u2013 Tasha Yar \u2013 She\u2019s athletic enough to turn a double play.<br \/>\n5. third baseman &#8211; T\u2019Pol \u2013 She has a strong arm to throw to Archer at first.<br \/>\n6. shortstop \u2013 Will Riker \u2013 Would work well with Yar in turning a double play.<br \/>\n7. left fielder \u2013 Seven of Nine \u2013 Borg strength and agility would be good here.<br \/>\n8. center fielder \u2013 Odo \u2013 He could change into anything to rob a homerun!<br \/>\n9. right fielder \u2013 Data \u2013 He has great strength and speed.<br \/>\nU. umpire &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0 Spock &#8211; Logical and fair.<br \/>\nM. manager \u2013 B\u2019Elaana Torres &#8211; Can you imagine her losing her temper and arguing with Spock? \u00a0Lol<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Fred<\/p>\n<p>Pitcher &#8211; Sulu. All I thought of was Hideo Nomo.<br \/>\nCatcher &#8211; Worf. Strong like Pete Rose was.<br \/>\nFirst Base &#8211; Riker. Tall guys play first base. I played first base. LOL<br \/>\nSecond Base &#8211; Kira Nerys. She\u2019s fast and agile.<br \/>\nThird Base &#8211; Data. Nothing would get by him.<br \/>\nShort Stop &#8211; Tuvok. Precise and fast.<br \/>\nLeft Field &#8211; Tom Paris. Young and agile.<br \/>\nCenter Field &#8211; Jadzia Dax. Those long legs should move her across centerfield quickly.<br \/>\nRight Field &#8211; Wesley. Well, the kid had got to do something. LOL<br \/>\nUmpire &#8211; Odo. Stick with him as Ump. Honest to a tee.<br \/>\nManager &#8211; Sisko. Hey, it\u2019s his game.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>TWL<\/div>\n<div>The Tricky Tribbles<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>1. Pitcher (Lt. Ro Laren)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For my pitcher, I have chosen Ro Laren.\u00a0 Her hardened attitude and determination would make her a valid choice for pitcher, as she would be able to keep focused and set straight on her purpose.\u00a0 Although she had defected from the Enterprise, I would trust her to be a good fit in our puzzle of a tightly-knit team, as she would appreciate the importance of her position.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>2. Catcher (Quark)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Quark is the kind of guy to keep an eye on the ball in any situation, whether it be seeking out a dropped piece of latinum on the floor of his bar or the lightning pitch of Ro Laren&#8217;s throw.\u00a0 Skills aside, he would be able to stay more comfortable as catcher due to his short stature.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>3. First Baseman (Kirk)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>First of all, it only seems proper to place the first captain of the first Star Trek series on first base.\u00a0 Everyone has their eyes on this position and he knows it.\u00a0 As first baseman, Kirk would have his desire for action satisfied and give it his all!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>4. Second Baseman (Sisko)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Captain Sisko deserves a position with a view.\u00a0 His appreciation for the game runs deep, and I&#8217;m sure he would appreciate playing as second baseman.\u00a0 In this position, Sisko could provide advice to everyone on his time in the middle of an important play.\u00a0 He would also be able to properly view everyone&#8217;s skill and make decisions based on his seasoned experience in baseball.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>5. Third Baseman (Janeway)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Finishing up the run of our bases is Captain Janeway.\u00a0 As third baseman, she would have quick access to the sidelines to fuel her black coffee addiction in between plays.\u00a0 It would also make sense to have Janeway along the home stretch, as being on the path to home is something she seems to have much experience with.\u00a0 Being alongside Sisko and Kirk would also provide a sense of camaraderie among the three.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>6. Shortstop (Data)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Data&#8217;s devoted willingness to learning human culture and teamwork would make him a great fit for shortstop.\u00a0 In this position, he can observe the communication needed to function as a team, while also being part of it.\u00a0 Another plus is his superior speed and agility, which would allow Data to move quickly between the second and third base.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>7. Left Fielder (Odo)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Choosing the outfield positions was a tough decision, but I&#8217;m confident that I have made all the right choices.\u00a0 Starting at left field, we have the one and only Odo.\u00a0 As left fielder, Odo has the space to make the most out of his changeling abilities.\u00a0 Here, Odo could make the most use out of his abilities, such as by transforming into a bird to prevent a home run.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>8. Center Fielder (Seven of Nine)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Efficiency.\u00a0 Seven would find center fielder as the position best suited for her abilities.\u00a0 She would be the back up for Sisko, who shares her sense of duty to completion and a knack for investigating the best way of doing things.\u00a0 Similar to Odo, she can put her superior functions to good use in the back of the field and keep an eye on everything at once.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>9. Right Fielder (Worf)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The proper place for a great Klingon warrior is where he can show his strength and determination.\u00a0 Worf would find playing alongside a strong Borg drone and a Changeling, who both come from species of conquerors, to be honorable.\u00a0 He also brings the strong fighting arm of a Klingon, accustomed to stabbing.\u00a0 However, I am confident he can translate this into a brilliant throwing arm.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>U. Umpire (Spock)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Spock shows logic in all of its forms.\u00a0 What better place to put him then the place where that logic is most needed?\u00a0 As umpire, Spock would provide an unbiased Vulcan approved view from behind the plate.\u00a0 Also, he and Quark would quickly find that they make a good fit near each other as they have a dislike for idle conversation in the midst of something important.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>M. Manager (Picard)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>While the other captains take their positions as first, second and third basemen, Picard would fit better off of the field.\u00a0 His ability to motivate a crowd with instantaneous spurts of motivational speaking and distinct bald head would make him a great centerpiece of the team; as its distinguished leader.<\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>John T<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>1. pitcher = Jake Sisko<\/div>\n<div>Reason: We know from &#8220;Take Me Out to the Holosuite&#8221; that Jake is an excellent pitcher, able to hold his own against even superior Vulcans!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>2. catcher=Worf<\/div>\n<div>Reason: There is no honor in dropping the baseball. Therefore, Worf should make a good catcher and his powerful when at the plate.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>3. first baseman=Seven of Nine<\/div>\n<div>Reason: First base is the first defense against the opposing team. Seven should be calm and collected&#8230;or is it collective?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>4. second baseman=The Doctor<\/div>\n<div>Reason: The Doctor could use his holotechnology to change shape as needed to catch any player trying to steal a base&#8230;presuming that is allowed by the rules!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>5. third baseman=William T. Riker<\/div>\n<div>Riker&#8217;s years of experience at sports like Anbo-jyutsu should help him at third base<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>6. shortstop=Montgomery Scott<\/div>\n<div>Shortstops have to think on their feet and cover a good deal of the field. Scotty has experience as a miracle working problem solver and would be a good shortstop.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>7. left fielder=James T. Kirk Prime Universe<\/div>\n<div>With his mixture of leadership and physicality, Prime Kirk is the perfect left fielder who will run after every baseball because he doesn&#8217;t believe in the no win scenario.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>8. center fielder=Philippa Georgiou<\/div>\n<div>Because Philippa is played by Michele Yeoh, the center fielder should be able to jump, flip, and do amazing stunts to catch the baseball.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>9. right field=James T. Kirk Kelvin Universe<\/div>\n<div>Who else could be a perfect compliment to Prime Kirk at left field than Kelvin Kirk at right field?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>U. umpire=Spock<\/div>\n<div>Reason: It is only logical to have an unemotional and rational character be the umpire.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>M. manager=Jonathan Archer<\/div>\n<div>Because the team is from diverse universes, Archer knows how to create coalitions and would be a great manager. He could tell his team &#8220;You can&#8217;t be afraid of the wind!&#8221; too which is nice.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a random page for posting old contests I want to remember \ud83d\ude42 Change one word to make a Trek<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jklm.net\/startrekcards\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jklm.net\/startrekcards\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jklm.net\/startrekcards\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jklm.net\/startrekcards\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jklm.net\/startrekcards\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6603"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/jklm.net\/startrekcards\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6603\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7556,"href":"https:\/\/jklm.net\/startrekcards\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6603\/revisions\/7556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jklm.net\/startrekcards\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jklm.net\/startrekcards\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jklm.net\/startrekcards\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
