Name three sports legends, living or dead, you'd most like to have dinner with. And why.

Mine are from baseball:

1) Jackie Robinson—I want to hear his story from him.

2) Babe Ruth—ditto. Plus, I think it would be a heck of a good time.

3) Billy Martin—ditto (x10).

...and Spectacular Bid. The first two because I would love to hear their Triple Crown stories and The Bid so I could feed him his favorite jelly donuts and really how often do you get to do that with the greatest horse to ever look through a bridle?

One of those is still possible. Unlikely, but possible.

On edit: I know Ali is still alive, but he doesn't get out much since he's so sick. So i guess that's possible too, but even more unlikely
