If you could have lunch with one player, living or not, who would it be?

Question

I would really like to sit down and have a meal/talk with Lou Gehrig for alot of reasons.

Answer 1

I wouls like to have lunch with Carl Yastrzemski.  I have always admired him and I would like to talk to him about baseball and life after baseball. He is not in the public much and I would love to be able to find out why.

Answer 2

Hank Aaron by far he is an amazing guy and I think its shameful that Barry broke his record. Hank deserves to still be the record holder not some juiced up player.

Answer 3

either babe, shoeless Joe, or Jessica Mendoza would be kool

Answer 4

When I was a kid I woulda said Thurman Munson. If Thurm wasn't available, I'd say Don Mattingly (at least he's still alive). Today, I'd say Mike Mussina -- but please, no peanut butter and jelly.

Answer 5

umm i would say....... Carl Yaz hes a great hitter maybe of all-time and he is so under rated

Answer 6

Ted Williams. To me the best to have played the game. Many forget he served in the war for a few years, otherwise his numbers would have been even more huge. Not to mention his consistency to have such a high, respectful batting avg. All around GREAT guy, and in some senses, not seen and respected as to how he should be.

Answer 7

Either Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano, A-Rod, Jason Giambi or Melky Cabrera.

Answer 8

He would be a great choice.

I wouldn't mind sharing a meal with Roberto Clemente.

Answer 12

Probably Willie Mays. He's my favorite old timer

Answer 13

That's hard so many

well I'm going to choose Joe DiMaggio because he intrigues me ,  something about him makes him interesting to me

Answer 14

Ted Williams.  There would be othing more rewarding then picking the brain of the greatest hitter of all time.

Answer 15

Koufax

Answer 16

As much as I agree that I would love to have had an opportunity to meet The Captain Thurman Munson, I would have equally loved to sit down with Dodger greats Roy Campanella and Jackie Robinson.  However if I can only choose one, I without hesitating would choose Roberto Clemente.

Answer 17

From before I'd say Mickey Mantle and a player of today would have to be Mariano Rivera.

Answer 18

pujols

Answer 19

[I HAD LUNCH BEFORE WITH FORMER LAS VEGAS STARS/SAN DIEGO PADRES/ATLANTA BRAVES PITCHER KEITH LOCKHART BEFORE-BUT WHO ELSE WOULD I CHOOSE....?]BABE RUTH AKA THE GREAT BAMBINO JUST CAUSE HE WAS GREAT

Answer 20

Babe Ruth

Who would not want to?

he is just like an ordinary american, drinking beer and having fun!

Answer 21

Bill Lee.  Think of the stories.

Answer 22

Bill Gleason, from the 1880's Cardinals, because he is my Great Great Uncle! Although Lou Gehrig was a class act. He is the greatest first baseman ever!
