I'd have to say Cecil Fielder so that I'd see if he could eat everything mentioned in the Lunch thread -- in one sitting. 3-1 says he can.

In all honesty? My dad once brought me to a charity thing where he paid $200 so that he and I could eat with, among other Red Sox, Mo Vaughn and John Valentin. As I was on of the only kids there (this was about 6-8 years ago), I was seated next to Big Mo, and he was the nicest guy. I ate dinner with Roger Clemens in Subway in New Hampshire when I was 7, though, and he was nothing but great to me. I've forgiven him completely, and even for a fleeting moment considered becoming a Blue Jays fan in 1996... but have never considered becoming a Yankee fan.

If I could have lunch with anyone connected with sports, it would probably be Bill James or maybe Bill Simmons.

Anyone in history, it would have to be JFK, Teddy Ballgame, Sam Adams, and Russell, the Bengali guy who owns the local Kwik-E-Mart equivalent... because he's awesome.
