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).

(1) Have seen lots of greats...but the greatest single performance I ever saw in person was a 3-tater day by Pujols at Busch in 2006. I was sitting behind home plate and even in a packed ballpark the contact sounded unlike anything I ever heard....and he missed #4 on the warning track.
(2) greatest player ever "met"...Yaz at his last spring training game in '83...back when you could lean over the dugout and solicit autographs. He signed and actually talked to me for what seemed like an hour (it was probably 30 seconds...). My favorite all time player (3) slight twist....best i ever FACED...Billy Wagner. even at 20, his shit was unreal. That ball also made a sound I had never heard before...cuz I sure didnt SEE it

Best I've ever seen play is probably Pedro Martinez during his peak. I've been able to see a fair amount of players that went on to the HoF but Pedro at his peak was a treat to watch.
Not sure if I'd say I actually "met" him, but I did get Yaz's autograph at a card show about 25 years ago or so. Didn't talk or anything. Earl Weaver and Carlton Fisk were great at the shows I went to and were very personable.
