I went with McGraw, as I feel like he might have had one of the greatest baseball minds the game has ever seen (not that the others were slouches by any stretch). I feel like I would love to pick his brain about strategy, and certainly about what it was like being with the Orioles in the 1890s, and then managing some of the finest ballplayers the National League has ever seen. Mathewson? Marquard? McGinnity? Ames? Hubbell? Ott? Meusel? Yes, please...
I think Casey would be incredible also, though I would worry about getting trapped in any Stengelese and just confusing myself in the process.
