While we hope for a comeback of almost 2004 proportions over the next five days, I couldn't help but think if we may be staring future history in the face. Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve. Both under 28, and I can't help but think that by the ends of their respective careers, we could be looking at one of the top middle infield duos ever.
I grew up in the 80's, so when I think double play combos, I think Whitaker/Trammell or Smith/Herr. I know there are plenty of options, Robinson/Reese, Mazeroski/Groat, Aparicio/Fox, Jeter/Cano (Shudder), but I was looking at a list this morning and I was surprised to see pairings like Gantner/Yount and Grich/Belanger.
For my money, I'd have to put them like this.
1) Jackie Robinson/Pee Wee Reese
2) Lou Whitaker/Alan Trammell
3) Derek Jeter/Robbie Cano
4) Aparicio/Fox
Although by the time it's all over, I could see Correa/Altuve being at the top.
Who ya got? Best all time, your favorite, so if you were a fan of Owen/Barrett or Andrews/Petrocelli, let's hear it!
