Best I ever saw:
Baseball: Barry Bonds. I saw Mantle and Aaron and others also, but most were at the tail end of their careers.
Football: Johnny Unitas.
Basketball: Michael Jordan.
Hockey: Wayne Gretzky. Also saw Gordie Howe late in his career.
Best I ever met: Other than a few quick auto requests, which I don't count, the best or at least my favorite athlete I ever conversed with was Thurman Munson (for all of about two minutes or less).
