For those listing Gretzky, that is an arguable choice. Hockey requires a lot of athleticism and Gretzky hammered all the scoring records.
However, if one slot goes to a hockey player, i would argue for Bobby Orr.
Orr set the record for scoring and did it while playing as defenseman. And he was eight years in a row MV Defenseman while setting scoring records and winning two MVPs overall. That's kinda like winning the Cy Young and the batting title in the same year, while setting a record batting.
Orr was injured and inducted into the NHL HOF at AGE THIRTY ONE..

Don't be stupid. Joey Chestnut deserves his own monument...he shouldn't have to share it with anyone else.

I nominate Caitlyn Jenner: Decathlon Winner

I'm not sure how anyone can leave Jesse Owens off of this list and that isn't the Buckeye in me talking.

Why all the man love for Woods? He has 3 fewer majors than Nicklaus.

3 locks are Jordan, Ruth and Brady.
I want to go Hank Aaron or Willie Mays for #4.

Because he absolutely dominated the field through the late 90s through 00s, and after a fall from grace and extreme medical issues, came back and won it all back in the 2019 Masters against one of the most stacked final round rosters in Masters history. Also if it weren’t for his medical issues, we all know he would have surpassed Jack by now. It’s difficult to exaggerate how big of a comeback that was.

Any list that doesn't have Bo Jackson on it is illegitimate.
