Reyes and Wright
I noticed David Wright drove in Jose Reyes in the first inning, as he did last night. Wright driving in Reyes is likely to happen a lot over the next few years. I wonder which pair of batters drove the other in most? At first thought, I might go with Bagwell driving in Biggio, simply because they played together for so long, or maybe Trammell and Whitaker? And I wouldn't be surprised if it was Gehrig driving in Ruth. Any other ideas?

I don't know exactly where you would look, but I would also check out Aaron/Matthews and Mays/McCovey.
What about Yount driving in Molitor?
"Al Kaline + Ty Cobb?"
Man, that Zombie Cobb was amazing, being a productive member of the Tigers' line-up for the 12 years after he died. The first 8 with Kaline were pretty impressive, seeing as he was in his late 60s, but I'll never forget the videos of his desicated corpse running home after yet another Kaline RBI.
Seriously, though, it seems like Ruth/Gehrig, Aaron/Matthews, Biggio/Bagwell, Mays/Cepeda or Crawford/Cobb would be the most likely combinations.
What would you hit if you played today Cobb?
Oh I'd say .290
But you were so good for so long why only .290?
Well I'm a 60 years old!
