If there was a choice from someone not on the list, it might be someone like Ol' Reliable Tommy Henrich. In my opinion, he's one of the more underrated Yankees that would have been a star on any other team.

Very interesting that Graig mentions Tommy Henrich because I have had the pure pleasure to do exactly that--sit & drink Buds for nearly 2 hrs w/ Tommy--and it's the highlite of my card-collecting career!

As for selecting a player from the list to do the same thing w/---it's hands-down Mickey for me! I grew up w/ baseball & Mickey simultaneously and altho the Babe would be the popular choice and also probably mine---but only if Mantle was NOT on the list!

Default Ruth
Ruth will always be the king in my book so I picked him.

Default Graig----
Maybe you missed this great thread a short while back--and eerily just a short while before he died---I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it!

My post about meeting Tommy is #9.

The hysteria surrounding marijuana in the 1920-1930's may have been enough to keep the Bambino from trying it.

I'm surprised to hear no one has chosen Jackie Robinson yet. Man the stories he could tell comin up through the Negro leauges and how
tough it must have been fightin' segregation in the 40's & 50's. He's my choice, hands down!!
