Default Greatest athlete of all-time

Adam, the problem with your choice of Cobb is that even though in basebal circles everyone knows him, outside of it, Ruth has much more name recognition Cobb. To America in general, Ruth is baseball.

I didn't vote for Jessie Owens because he, like Carl Lewis was sprinter. There is nothing special about a sprinter excelling at the long jump. Most great sprinters are outstanding long jumpers and vice versa. It's all a matter of what they want to concentrate on.
