I would say Jordan by a mile. Everyone knows who he is. Besides baseball people almost nobody knows who Babe Ruth is. Sure many have heard the name but couldn't give you a singe fact about him beside at one time he played baseball. I owned a commercial greenhouse and set up in 3 different towns every week selling at markets for around 5/6 years. Just wearing a pair of Jordans would get comments. We had a Net54 T-Shirt with Babe Ruth on it. I had exactly one person the entire time mention the shirt that I wore many times.

It's Babe Ruth. Bet settled, period, end of discussion. Even idiots know about Babe Ruth; anyone, any age.

I think the discussion has revealed the ambiguity of the original question. Perhaps the OP may wish to clarify it.

But I’ll try now: If we polled all US adults today and asked them “who is the most famous US athlete in history, who would you say it is?” Or may be better ways to tighten the question… it’s just for fun, but I think the question above is close to the spirit of my casual family bet.

Biggest sport in the world by far is football ( soccer to you and me.
So I’ll enter into the discussion Pelé - widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, he was among the most successful and popular sports figures of the 20th century.
