Babe Ruth and Josh Gibson.
Just so we could have a 2-man homerun derby and settle all debates on who was the better hitter once and for all.

My personal choice would be Ashoka the Great, king of the Mauryan Empire in India in the 3rd century BCE. He is a study of contrasts as early in his reign, he was a rather bloodthirsty conqueror, leaving thousands of dead in this wake. Then it is thought that he had seen what he had done and embraced Buddhism. After that, his rule was the complete opposite, with a benevolent hand that helped out his subjects rather than oppress them. In a time when kings ruled using terror, he instead ruled using generosity. I would love to speak with him directly to see how such a change occurred.
Probably as a runner-up, I would go with Saul of Tarsus, aka the Apostle Paul, for many of the same reasons.

Leonardo Da Vinci, simply to know more about the riddles he left behind - the Shroud of Turin and the Mona Lisa. I also think he was one of the most inteligent men ever to grace history.
Either him or Socrates or Plato, I think either one would be a pleasure to talk with.

Helen Keller. Even if it was just a fleeting glimpse, I would still appreciate that. I reckon she would teach a lot of people how lucky they really are, if she were only alive in this century.

William Tecumseh Sherman.
I'd like to discuss his battles at Shiloh, Atlanta, and 'Sherman's March' with him.

If King Tut was as handsome as his sarcophagus then a vigorous romp & stomp on the matress/couch/floor would be historical.... Sheer carnal lust rules out pver logic...
