Who is the one person in baseball history you would pick to sit down and have a few beers with to what they were really like.
Mine is obviously Gehrig. |

Mantle.
Much has been written, but to spend time with him would be priceless. Especially the stories that might be shared. Add Whitey Ford to the mix talking about he and Mantle out on the town, the girls, a drink.... In between the stories, probably get a nice glimpse of who Mantle was as a person. That would be more meaningful to me than what is in print.

It would be hard to pick just one to meet (not necessarily drink with), but the first to come to mind was King Kelly. Yet the next one was Billy Sunday.

Bob Feller.
With one of the longer lifespans for a ball player from his era, what didn't he see? He saw '20s and early '30s baseball, played in the mid-late '30s, fought in WWII, then played through the mid '50s. He died in 2010 at the age of 92, which means he saw and can probably share stories from 80+ years of baseball/American history.

Ted Williams for deceased players and Wade Boggs living. It would be amazing to listen to Ted explain hitting in person and Wade is may all-time favorite player.

Well I would say Ruth but it might be hard to talk about stuff considering he won't know any current events . Well he might not know any events since his death let alone current. But he seems like a guy that a few beers would be fun to have with. Maybe ty Cobb just to see if he was a jerk or not .

Personally, I'd pick Cobb. So much negative press about the guy being a racist, miserable, and a SOB that I'd like, despite it mostly being a known fact now he wasn't like that, to be able to sit down and find out who the guy really was. There are others of course, but that is my choice, despite not owning any of his cards or memorabilia.

DiMaggio. All class, super stardom. Find out a few things about Marilyn. I think that would be an interesting conversation.

Rube Waddell.
Known to occasionally miss a scheduled start because he was off fishing or playing marbles with street urchins, Waddell might disappear for days during spring training, only to be found leading a parade down the main street of Jacksonville, Florida, or wrestling an alligator in a nearby lagoon. That is a guy to drink with...

John Ward. He was a great pitcher (threw second perfect game in mlb history), a great shortstop, and the man who organized the Players' League formation. Ward was one of the most influential people in 19th century baseball. If John was busy I would go with Albert Spaulding, Harry Wright or Henry Chadwick.
As for the people who said Mantle--I spent an evening with him in 1992, he was not that interesting. |

Mark Fidrych
As a high school ballplayer and Tiger fan of the mid / late 70s I, and much of the nation, was captivated by him. By all accounts he was a real down to earth guy. I would love to pound a few and shoot the shit with him. |

Lots of other interesting choices. It's also interesting how nobody seems to choose the less amazing players. I'd probably choose either someone I grew up watching, Rice, or maybe Evans. But as others have said, maybe one of the bigger names Cobb I think would be interesting, Ruth maybe more fun although I doubt I could keep up with him even if it was my mid 20's self. Yeah, I know, I'm indecisive and didn't really answer the question. Steve B |
