Default It's Dinner Time!!

I am sure this has probably been done before...but if you could sit at a table for four who would be the three LIVING baseball figures you'd like to have sharing a Creme Brûlée?

Rules are you can pick one 1 current player, 1 former player, and one non-player!

I myself would be intrigued by a meal with

Alex Rodriguez
Hank Aaron
Tim Kurkjian

Boy that would be an interesting conversation.

I know only 3 are permitted, but how can you split up the greatest infield ever?

Rome giving crap to A-Roid would be classic and Wells was always a fun conversation as a player.

Bob Uecker

Rickey Henderson

Buck O'Neil would definitely have gotten the third spot and Minnie Minoso also would have been fun, but unfortunately this dinner is a little too late for those two.

Brooks Robinson
Manny Machado
Peter Angelos

I'd start off the dinner by saying..."Brooks, you recently said that Machado may be a greater third baseman than you." As Brooks nods his head, I would turn my attention to Angelos. "Mr. Angelos, you're known for being cheap. How about we turn around your legacy and give Machado a 10-year contract?"

Maybe also ask him why he has ostracized the greatest Oriole in history
