  1. 1. Keith Hernandez
    2. Ed Kranepool
    3. Mike Piazza (just joking)

    The last spot goes to either Olerud or Delgado. I vote Olerud, but Delgado can’t be ignored. If any of the above is unavailable, it should be Zeile.

  6. The hands down choice: Marvelous Marv Throneberry

    of course, i didn’t see the ‘must be living’ caveat. 🙁

    1. If I’m dining with the dead then Hodges would have to be there with Marv! Keith would have to be there just so I could at least have a conversation over dinner!

      Hey it might be one of those return of the dead movies all of us feasting on Brains, You never know it could happen!

      lol

  9. Since I have to pick Living folks I guess I’ll go with:
    Keith Obviously! the rest of us would hide his wallet and let the hilarity ensue!

    Tom Corcoran – Cause don’t you want to ask him how miserable he was in 86 knowing he had a snowballs chance in hell of getting into a game (he made 6 .000 BA) and knowing he made zero contribution to that ring he probably got?

    Eddie Murray – Just to ask him what the hell happened to that bunch of losers who were supposed to be the best money could buy! And why didn’t he kick their asses for not playing well!

      1. Tim Corcoran was around as Mex insurance in case his suspension for cocaine use stuck, which it didn’t once Ueberroth gave each suspendee the option of community service. Keith was actually hesitant to accept the out, on principle, but eventually caved in (thank goodness).

        Corcoran did not receive a WS ring. Cashen was unbelievably stingy when it came to players and rings: The 24-man roster plus Foster, Berenyi and Lynch (all gone before September) were the only recipients. Randy Myers raised an unrelenting fuss on behalf of the callups and part-timers and a few were eventually (years later) ringed: Myers and Magadan, I know, maybe a couple of others, like Gibbons, who remained in the organization. But I’m pretty sure Corcoran got no reward other than his presence in discussions like these.
