Who's talent do you wish you had?

I've considered some guitar players and some writers, but in the end, I'd love to be able to play soccer like Maradona. That would be cool.

Jacoby Ellsbury...I can only imagine what it would be like to run bases faster than anyone...

but then...to play pool like Efren Reyes would be wayyy cool too.

How about Dan Gurney? He's won in just about everything he's raced--particularly his win at Spa in a car of his design (not to mention at LeMans the week before that). Never heard anyone say a bad thing about him. He married the pretty girl working at the Porsche factory. What's not to like?

Play baseball like Jacoby or shoot pool like Efren...the $$$ would come then.

Ron, you're too nice, too honest to make $ the way some people do...no joke.

Billy Joel. I am already there, in terms of uglyness. Now I just need Cristie Brinkly to completely the wish.

You better make sure you don't get any of the other Diego Maradona traits. That guy is a perfect example of an extremely talented athlete that is a complete headcase otherwise.

Cheers, George

Donald Trump. I`d love to have the talent to make money like Donald Trump. Then I could hire all the godamned artists or athletes I`d like to .
