Default Greatest athlete of all-time

What would Al Spalding say about:

Barry Bonds: "This guy gets 200 at bats a year and manages to hit home runs in half of them?" (the home run leader in 1893 had like seven, not counting the Ned Williamson year and that scam).

Lance Armstrong: "This guy has ridden his bike ten's of thousand's of miles for sport? I think we have our new mail carrier! Remarkable!"

Wilt Chamberlain: "He scored 100 points in an indoor basketball game? Was anyone guarding him?"

Roy Halladay: "Hold on, most of the pitcher's today don't even get 20 wins? They don't even pitch 80 complete games?"

Love you Al, but that was the 1800's.
