Donnie Baseball. The man endured losing season after losing season and yet had a great career at 1st base. If he didn't hurt his back in the late 80's he would have been a 1st ballott HOFer. Its too bad he couldn't hang on for another season cause in 96 the year after he retired the Bombers won it all.

I am not a Yankee fan, but I would have to say George Steinbrenner, h3ll I can't stand the Yankees, but he is my favorite Yankee.
Guess who is the biggest donor all time to the Best D#%* Band in the Land?! That's right, King George. I love the guy, he's awesome (his wife was from the Buckeye state I think). I actually saw his wife at one of the skull sessions before an OSU game. In fact, he might have been there with her. He helped fund the new bandroom.

No one had a better time than Babe, hanging with the boys, playing with the kids, or just partying. Only Dempsey, Grange, and Valentino were as popular at that time. Imagine the fans if Tiger, Jordan, and Ali were making an appearance together, and that was Babe Ruth at his height of popularity. Every day would be a full one, trying to keep up with him.

Jorge Posada. he is my favorite yankee of all time. all the other yankees get the spotlight and the front page in the new york times, but Jorge is the silent leader of the team. (and he's having a fantastic season!) that's why he's my favorite and why i'd like to spend a day with him.

Well it would probally be Alex Rodriguez because he is an absoulte beast the yankees have had so many great players over the years.......but for me Alex Rodriguez is the man because he has one of if not the highest paid contract in all of MLB and he is amazing to watch......HE is almost as clucth as David Ortiz and the Boston Red sox (his rival team) Man what a player!

Party with Babe Ruth, no 2 ways about it. Biggest star in the world back then, and I bet a great drinking buddy as well. Then Joe DiMaggio-my personal favorite ball player ever. Also I'd like to kick it with Phil Rizzuto, bet he was a lot of fun in his day.

I don't think I can decide, there's 2 many of them. Mo Rivera, Lou Gerigh, Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Don Mattingly, Thurman Munson, Babe Ruth, and the list goes on.

Johnny Damon
I would want to ask him what vibe he got playing for the BoSox and how it compares to the Pinstripes vibe
Is the vibe similar? Really different? What?
Johnny Damon would know. Clemens too I guess but JD is more recent
