I'd like to meet:

David "Big Papi" Ortiz, and give him a big hug. Then I'd point up to the sky. Jay Farrar, but then again, I've already met him (more than once), so I guess he doesn't count. My grandmother when I get to the after-life...we'll sip VOs on the rocks together in peaceful bliss. Babe Ruth in a Red Sox uniform. We'd grab ourselves a throwback Yankees jersey, pour kerosene all over it, and fucking light that shit up. (insert your name)
