8. I think I'd substitute Ted Williams for Henderson, and Joe Morgan for Robinson.

That leaves a hole at lead off, but I’d slide Morgan in there, instead of his normal two slot. I’d also move Aaron to right, and make Ruth DH. Ruth’s position was more accurately described as “non-sun field.”. That was right field in Yankee Stadium, but usually left on the road.
