By my definition I would not pick Ruth, because it isn't that long a way down from him to Cobb, Williams, Mays, etc.
I am surprised nobody has mentioned Phelps yet, or did I miss it.

I’m a bit surprised no one has mentioned Jim Thorpe yet. He could do it all, and overcame a lot of adversity in doing so.

Michael Phelps should be considered

Not a huge fan of the sport or the man, but Shaun White sure made a statement.

Think if an athlete like Allen Iverson or Barry Sanders spent their whole life playing something like squash. No offense against the people who play some of the less popular sports, but I think you need to be in a sport that had at least some worldwide appeal to be in the discussion. |
