Dinner Table - 4/13/06

Name 3 athletes, alive or dead, you'd like to have dinner with. Here's my 3:

1) Jackie Robinson - The man went through so much and handled it all with dignity. I'm sure he'd be very satisfied with how far sports have come with integration.

2) Wilt Chamberlain - You need someone at the table who is full of stories and admittedly I'd be grilling him on all his "conquests".....

3) Babe Didrikson - I had to include 1 woman in the group and it was a tough choice between the greatest female athlete of all time or Anna Kournikova (best looking female athlete of all time!)............ Babe dominated golf and track and field like no female athlete before or since. In golf she won 55 tournaments (including a string of 13 in a row) and she was one of 3 people to start the LPGA tour. In track and field, she won the womans 1st olympic javelin and set a world record in the 80 meter hurdles. She was named the female athlete of the year 6 times.

I think these 3 would be a good start.
