For me, Bob Costas, and Kieth Olberman at Miller Park, Field Infield Box, First base side. No discussing politics, and during the game we will try to fix 2K Sport's absolutely atrocious picks for their NL and AL Greats teams from MLB 2K10.

1. I can only think of one
I'd want to watch a Giants game with Brian Wilson (until the 9th inning when he's called in).

2. How about with Brian Wilson and Brian Wilson?
You know, the Beach Boy? Although, come to think of it, he's probably a Dodger fan...

3. Jesus and Glen Beck
Just so I can watch Jesus bitchslap Glen Beck for being so absolutely wrong about the Bible, religion and what Jesus did during his time on earth.

8. I actually watched several innings of an NL playoff game in '88 sitting next to Manny Sanguillen
Edited on Tue Nov-16-10 06:54 PM by abq e streeter
and was too star struck to say a single word to him ( and Warren Spahn was knocking back Coors Lights at the end of the bar)



But if I could watch with anyone? As far as players, maybe Tim the Freak Lincecum and Bill the Spaceman Lee , for semi-obvious reasons .
:smoke:




Non-players? Bruce Springsteen (would LOVE to talk about music with him for 9 whole innings) and maybe Clarence Clemons too.

11. 22 years ago, and my memory might not be accurate, but seems like that's what he was drinking
I couldn't swear to it, but I do remember it was just some regular old tap beer, whatever it was. nothing fancy...

I'd probably get bored with the game but enjoy hanging out with them.

14. Keith Olbermann and George Clooney
I'll overlook the fact that George is a Reds fan. (I understand he once tried out for the team.) And, Keith...well, he's the Baseball Nerd. Can't beat that. A nice spot behind home plate at Wrigley Field would be nice, although just about anywhere in that park would be alright with me. Can John Cusack join us, too? It would be great to have another Cubs fan as part of the group.

19. James Kenneth Galbraith and Paul Krugman.
I'd be much less likely to get distracted from the economics discussion at a baseball game.

22. Shrug, not sure but that was a good movie.
On a side note, the pattern of the scars on the arm of the sign held up in the crowd, are the exact same pattern on my arms. Long scare on right forearm, short scar near elbow on left arm.
