Dream TeamsI was elated to receive the special issue SPORTS ILLUSTRATED CLASSIC (Fall 1992). I'm sure you will receive an unbelievable amount of mail concerning each sport's Dream Team (The All-Time Dream Teams), but I have to hand it to you, the choices are hard to argue with. Every player is as deserving as any who might have been selected in his place.THOMAS HALL

Mickey Cochrane over Johnny Bench for catcher on a baseball Dream Team? Steve Wulf blew this call.
JOE HARGIS
Minneapolis
How could Steve Wulf have taken Cal Ripken over Honus Wagner at shortstop?
ROBERT RUTH
Tallahassee, Fla.
No offense to Mike Schmidt, but a Dream Team without Brooks Robinson at third base?
ESTHER SIEGEL JACOBSON
Owings Mills, Md.
How anyone could have left Hank Aaron off a baseball Dream Team is beyond comprehension.
MARK S. BARNES
Baltimore
A Dream Team without Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams? What a nightmare.
JULES GAREL
Columbus, Ohio
To have chosen Jackie Robinson over Rogers Hornsby, a .358 lifetime hitter, makes no sense.
WILLIAM PIERSON
Sacramento
Not putting Ray Bourque on your hockey Dream Team is like not putting Ted Williams on your baseball Dream Team.
Oops, I see you missed him, too.
PATRICK DUGGAN
East Hartford, Conn.
Pat Riley as hoops Dream Team coach over Red Auerbach? Not even close.
DOM DEBAGGIS
Littleton, Colo.
I want to commend Joseph Salina on the illustrations that accompanied the four Dream Team articles. The interaction among the legends brought to life your experts' selections.
