Out of that group I chose Ruth, but I would love to spend some time with Rube Waddell. That might be quite an interesting time helping him chase firetrucks!!!

being a huge Clemente fan,I would loved to have met him in person,and maybe with a few beers he might be a little less serious,But to drink and talk to the Babe would probably be the most fun based on the Legend of the Bambino's exploits. Lou

Good call on Waddell, Rob. I think that he's one of the most interesting characters the game's ever seen. Or at least, from what I've read...

I surprised myself by choosing Mantle. Anyway, here's why:
Ruth: Babe was known to not be able to sit very still, so I'm not sure I could've retained his attention for very long. Also, he never would have remembered my name, so he would've been calling me "kid" the whole time. "Let's go back to my apartment, kid. Dugan's got the bathtub full 'o cold beers and I've got some lady friends a'waitin." No thanks, Bam. Maybe another time. Cobb: Three drinks into a conversation with the Peach and I would've asked him about that fateful night of his father's "murder". Conversation over, and I would've lost a few teeth. Robinson: I just don't see this as a two-way conversation. And I think Jackie would be a 1 drink minimum kind of guy. Mantle: By process of elimination, I settled on Mantle. I think he'd be the most comfortable chatting over a bucket of beers - either fishing, golfing or hanging out at the Copa. Who knows where the night would lead? Maybe to an upstate farm for a deer hunt with Billy and Whitey? Last edited by jacksons; 01-12-2010 at 07:57 AM.

As many of you stated, it's a tough choice...
and after much consideration, I chose Jackie Roosevelt Robinson, because he had the Dignity of Lou Gehrig, the Humanity of Roberto Clemente, the Talent of Ty Cobb, the Character of Christy Mathewson, and the Determination of Martin Luther King. Now that's what I call a Five Tool Player.
Thanks to all for participating. Sincerely, Jimmy

Beer
I would have to say Ty Cobb. I think it would be interesting to try and pick his brain to figure him out. I can just see him in the last year of his life with Al Stump who spent day & night with him writing his bio....and the Cobbie running out on the hotel balcony in Nevada shooting off his gun because everyone was partying too loudly! What a nut...
I agree with Rob and others - interesting choice with Waddell.
