Wayne has 40 regular season records and 15 playoff records!!! I do not believe any athlete in the 4 major sports (baseball, football, hockey and basketball) has ever dominated a sport in such a strong way.

I don't really think it's fair to compare dominance in different sports.
One could say that Babe Ruth changed the way baseball was played, and he really took baseball to another level in terms of popularity. There is no doubt that Wayne was a dominant hockey player, he definitely didn't have the impact that Babe Ruth had. To me, the only player who can compare in terms of bringing their sport to another level of popularity is Michael Jordan, and even with that, it's tough to compare in terms of sheer dominance.

This is not a thread to disrespect Babe Ruth at all just to find out if someone believes if there was ever a athlete that ever dominated in such a way beyond EVERYONE else in his sport. I also thought that it would be a fun debate to inter cross 2 different sport LEGENDS and compare them. Post # 5 Last edited by Zone91; 06-05-2013 at 07:23 PM.
