I've always liked Alan Trammell, another I would like would be "The Captain" Steve Yzerman !
Jimbo
I don't drink beer and I don't ever plan on doing so, for I want to stay healthy.
In my case, it would be "what athlete would you like to have root beer with?"
Athlete-wise, I'd go with a bunch of old Sabres- Pat LaFontaine, Dave Andreychuk, Dale Hawerchuk, Phil Housley, and Dominik Hasek.

I knew there was something not quite right about you.
I would love to have a beer with Kenny Stabler, because it would probably turn into quite a party!
Satchel Paige, Barry Sanders, Michael Jordan and Jesse Owen's Last but NOT LEAST!!! Muhammad Ali

What's wrong with that?
I just want to keep my liver healthy.
Also, I feel that once I start, I'd never stop.
Wow thats pretty cool....The most I can say is I had some lunch at a resturant, and Rasheed Wallace was at the next table!....LOL
it was a long time ago...early to mid 90's when he still drank, alot! Was actually at his house for a party before he was married to Deanna and he lived with a friend from MS. The guy has huge hands.
:up
Right there with you buddy.
I would have to say Christy Mathewson. Nicknamed The Christian Gentleman
Given that you're a Reds/Redskins/Kentucky fan, I was thinking you'd say Joe
Gibbs, Theismann, any one of the key players on Cincy's Big Red Machine, Andre Woodson, or well-known UK hoopsters (Billups, Prince, Antoine Walker, Mashburn)
My customers have included the 1998, "Don't anybody look while I shove this guy out of my way" exacta of Michael Jordan and Bryon Russell, as well as Muhammed Ali, Mia Hamm, Pat Ewing, Doug Collins, John Calipari, Darrell Green, some guy who captained two winning entries in the Newport National Yacht competitions whose name you wouldn't recognize, another guy who was either the third or fourth seed in the 1970 Men's US Tennis Open whose name I don't even remember, and someone who surely enjoys putting such people on his human charm bracelet, Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder.
I wouldn't pay a dime to have a beer with any of them. I'd rather have had a beer with Tim Russert.
Edit/Update: It just occurred to me that I used to service NBA first round draft pick and former Michael Jordan teammate Ennis Whatley's C-band dish, as well as the C-Band dish at Joe Theisman's restaurant, but I never saw Theisman and had nothing to talk to Whatley about: "Hey, what's it like to have a journeyman career after being a first round draft pick?"
I've had good times throwing down a few beers with Mike Ditka's high school football coach, who owned a bar where I serviced the juke box. He said he had a real good system for keeping discipline on the team. If someone was stepping out of line, he'd just say to Ditka, "That guy's stepping out of line" and then Ditka would beat the sh*t out of him.
One of the more interesting bar-room conversations I had was with the guy who was the UMass basketball forward who was a starter when Julius Erving was a freshman. He was attending some kind of ceremony at which UMass retired Erving's number. Back in their playing era, freshmen couldn't play varsity sports. He just said it was discouraging knowing that no matter what he did on the court that season, he knew he was going to sit on the bench the next year.
Rick Pitino was in town for that also. He, too, had been an Erving teammate, as had Mike Flanagan and Al Skinner. For a school that never wins anything, it is amazing how many professional athletes UMass has produced. Pitino left several messages on the business answering machine that a friend of mine and I shared, hounding him to meet him after the ceremony so they could "make the rounds" at all the downtown bars they both used to frequent two decades earlier, but I couldn't talk my friend into taking him up on the offer.
