Who's on first?

Chris Chambliss?

How about suiting up Reggie Jackson and putting him in right field -- or at least at DH -- so he can keep Chase Utley from breaking his HR record?

Perhaps Robin Roberts should take the mound for the Phillies. He's not THAT much older than the scheduled starters in tonight's Old Timers Game at Yankee Stadium.

It'll be 37-year-old Andy Pettite pitching on three days rest for New York against 38-year-old Pedro Martinez as the Yanks try to wrap up their 27th World Series title in Game Six.

Pettite, who's 3-0, with a 3.24 ERA, in four starts this postseason, now has more postseason wins -- 17 -- than any pitcher in history. How many of those should be credited to HGH we'll leave up to Bud Selig to decide.

Speaking of decisions...can we officially label Mr. Utley "Mr. November?"

It'd be nice if he got some slugging help tonight from Ryan Howard, who has struck out a record-tying 12 times in the Series.
