State what team this player is on or what team they played for (doesn't have to be a current player) just in case someone doesn't know who they are. A few stats would also be great. Why would you choose this person? What kind of questions would you ask this player?

Ruth, he was not only the greatest player the game has ever seen but he transcended the sport moving into rock star status. It would be like hanging with the Beatles, Elvis, and the Stones all rolled into one.

The NFL achieves a degree of parity through scheduling, not through a salary cap. If you suck, you get a bunch of games against other teams that suck the following year. NBA has a cap - every year the Lakers are great and the Clippers suck. It's about how a team is managed, but small market owners just keep crying "salary!" - it's a red herring meant to distract from noticing the problem is the ownership and management. Baseball already has the highest degree of competitiveness of the four major team sports. In the NFL and NBA the majority of teams have records either above .600 or below .400. A majority! But in the MLB only three out of thirty teams were at those extremes, and even then just barely. A cap will not help baseball, it will only punish the players in order to make the owners more profitable. The Yankees will make just as much revenue but if they can't spend it on players it just ends up as profit for the Steinbrenners. Do you REALLY think making the Steinbrenners richer is a worthy goal? I don't. Salary caps are about profitability for ownership, they are NOT about competitiveness. But of course, the small market owners don't want you to know that.

Ted Williams
Red Sox
last player to bat .400
I heard he was a mean old man, but he liked to fish.
I'd also like to spend the day with Josh Beckett, to discuss his...stats LOL

Sandy Koufax: Pitcher LA Dodgers
Without question the most dominating pitcher I ever saw. I'm a Yankee fan but what he did to them in the 63 world series was unbelievable. Although he hit a homer off of him later, there were reports that the first time Mantle faced him he said " How the f*** am I supposed to hit that s**t".

If he was forced to talk to you, probably Ted Williams. I understand that he was a really interesting guy to talk to if you can get him to talk.
Ruth would be the fun one.
Cobb if I had someone I needed to kill
Lou Gehrig for courage.
My favourite player in the 80's/ 90's was Ryne Sandberg, although I am not sure if I have an interest to talk to him

Absolutely David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox! He has a great personality and a huge heart! I would ask him how it feels to be such an amazing clutch hitter!

Babe Ruth. It is because he is the greatest baseball player of all time. I would ask him questions about his career, and I would want to know more about the game, and baseball during his time. I would also ask for an autograph.
