Obviously, this pertains to those sports celebrities that are still with us and someone you haven't met.

For me, it would be either Willie Mays or Hank Aaron.

Who would it be for you?

Trust me, you wouldn't want to meet Willie Mays. You would have one bad experience.
 
I know chisenbop.:)
I had to look that up. As I said ...

I saw it spelled chisanbop and I got all excited, looking forward to correcting your spelling. Then I looked further and saw that the 'en' spelling is also acceptable. Big letdown. Where's the Cuervo?:rolleyes:

Willie couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the c and the a.
Maybe he also couldn't spell hitting, hitting for power, running, fielding or throwing, but there are none who possessed the combination of those skills at a higher level.

What do you think education was like for a black child raised in Alabama when he was?
 
I am thinking of Penn Staters of whom I have the greatest respect and to whom I would just like to say, "Thank you." To that end, I've already met Michael Mauti and Franco and have thanked them both. I've never had the chance to meet Michael Zordich or Jay. Maybe they aren't "sports celebrities", but they are two Penn Staters I'd like to meet.
 
I think Wilt Chamberlain would be kinda interesting. He did a lot of scoring during his career. ;)
Got to be pretty good friends in the early 70s with a guy who played on the Sixers for a year or two with Wilt, Jim Reid was in the EBL with the Sunbury Mercs at the time, if I remember correctly. Anyway, he told stories of Wilt's prowess (on the off the court). Of course no one knew about this sort of thing at the time he told me the stories........so when things started getting published, I knew they were likely to be true.
