If you had to be stuck in an elevator with any sports figure past/present who would it be and why?

So you are stuck in an elevator for 8 hours.. You get to pick any person to spend those 8 hours with chatting....

Probably go with Ty Cobb- I am sure he would have plenty of stories to tell... Opinions to share.. etc

    Kyle Petty? Wait, surely you meant Danica Patrick.

    Yupp . . . She is a little cutie !

    She's a little freaky deaky , but what do you expect from a woman that likes to drive over 200 mph !

    Over 800 HP @ about 12,000 rpm . . .

    I would love to drive her . . . . . .

    no doubt Sammy Baugh...would love to hear him tell his stories in a way that only Sammy can. If you have ever seen an interview of him...you know what I mean.



    I also wouldn't mind being stuck with Rube's favorite....softball player Jennie Finch (I think thats her name) She's a cutie image

    Al Kaline, was my favorite Tiger growing up.

    2nd choice maybe Shoeless Joe Jackson, many questions for him!!
  • Male: Babe Ruth - He would have great stories to tell.
    Female: Anna Kournikova - Although I would hope we would not spend 8 hours chatting!

    I think I would chose Buck O'Neil. He experienced so much in his life and would be amazing to talk to. Or Sharipova but for totally different reasons....

    You beat me to that one.

    Otherwise I might go with Shoeless Joe - played against many other legends, and to find out what he went through mentally in his latter years
  • I think that no matter who it was, things would become awkward very quickly. 8 hrs. is a long time unless you have a deck of cards or something. I think I'd rather be stuck in there with that cutie tennis player who isn't all that good but is hot so she gets a bunch of press and dates hockey players.....or just a laptop. image

    I think some of you guys missed the point of this thread...


    Its not which female sports star would you like to have sex with for 8 hours? (more like which female would you like to have sex with for 2-30minutes then sleep 7 hours then have sex with again)

    ANYWAY....
  • cwazzycwazzy Posts: 3,257
    2 to 30 minutes? You, my friend, are giving me waaayyy too much credit. image

  • as I have already met Buck O'Neil, and spent a good hour chatting him up image Ill pick someone else, but he would be atop my list for sure.

    I'd love to spend the day with Ted Williams, so he could help me with my swing...I'd also convince him NOT to freeze his head after his death....

    8 hours with Jim Thome would also be a heck of a treat, Dale Murphy too.

    Bronko Nagurski... by many accounts a very colorful man and great storyteller.

    Runner up... Jim Thorpe who must have had endless tales to tell about his life as a pioneer in professional sports and his Olympic experiences.

    For a female, I would have to go with Maria Sharapova. I wouldn't have to converse with her, I just wanna look. image

    As for a male, I would have to go with Ted Williams, I bet that man had some incredible stories, sports and war.
    Looking for Carl Willey items.

    I don't know. Are there any sports figures that we know of that can fix an elevator? That's the one I want to be stuck with.

    << <i>Ty Cobb. My next fav. player next to Pete Rose. >>



    You had best hope Ty would take a liking to you... I believe he was well known for his nasty disposition.

    Cobb's .366 lifetime batting average remains the highest career average ever. Yet, for all that, his reputation as a great hitter may be overshadowed by his reputation as a fierce competitor and the meanest man ever to play the game. He was vitriolic to his opponents - he would ceremoniously and prominently sharpen his spikes, in full view of suddenly nervous opposing infielders, before he hit. Like Cap Anson before him, Cobb was a cruel bench jockey and unabashed racist.

    I imagine Rose would be far more personable, especially if you caught him in his environment... Vegas!

    Edited to add Cobb link.
