Choosing sides with little kids

I dont know if there are enough people coming here to do things like this or not. Here's the challenge. You must choose a team consisting or 16 players. You can only choose players who had a namesake who also played in MLB after 1900. Once you pick a player, you also have to take ALL that players namesakes. For example, you cannot pick Ruth, because there was no other Ruth in MLB. If you want Ty Cobb, you also have to take George, Herb and Joe Cobb. There must be a player at every position and at least four pitchers. You cannot go over the 16-player roster limit, and there can be no more than 8 different surnames. The key is to pick names that had a few namesakes, all of them good, like Grady and Ted Sizemore.
