You have box seats for a game. You have one ticket. You have three seats to offer.

In all of baseball history who would you want to sit with to hear them discuss the game. Tough. Yep.

1. Babe Ruth--why--knows pitching and hitting.

2. Bob Gibson-why--toughest competitor I ever saw.

3. Ted Williams-why--just talk hitting.

(runner up-Hank Aaron)

Your turn.
