to be able to meet the best 2 pitchers of the 60's in Sandy Koufax & Don Drysdale & their speedy teammate Maury Wills (Who made base stealing an artform in the 60's along with Lou Brock of the Cards). I still root for the Dodgers to win, Except when playing my Cubs!!!
Jim Lefebvre was a better manager than player...
Ernie "MR.CUB....All Cub fans hail Ernie...And let's play 2" Banks would be one of the first Cubs players, From yester-year, I would die to meet. I would love to tell Mr.Banks I was pre-determined to be a diehard Cubs fan since I was born on the exact day he hit his 500th HR!!!
Warren Spahn was one of the best pitchers the Milwaukee Braves EVER had...He moved to Hartshorne, OK after he retired and farmed until his untimely death this past year.
Bobby Grich, I remember when he played with the (Then known) California Angels, That was back in the late 70's-early 80's, If I recall he was an infielder (Cant remember his exact position though)
