Tough choices!
I'm torn between Cobb and Ruth. Cobb could be fascinating, even if he was a bit harsh. I'm not sure about nice letters, but I passed on one I shouldn't have that was pretty strongly worded. I've wondered for years how much of the venom later on was real and how much was living down to the rep he'd built. His attitudes about some things weren't all that extreme for the 20's-30's.
But if I was going out on the town it would be Ruth for sure.
As a kid I did get to spend a little time with Feller and Brooks Robinson, not very loong, but a good deal more than just hello.
