Ali, Jordan, and others win for most famous "SHORT-TIME" or "NOW".

What? It's a seniority question now?

Babe Ruth's got tenure over everybody else. That's a way to never lose your place in history I guess.

I don't know. I don't think so. I think that's a possible "interpretation" of the question...but certainly not in the spirit of how it was presented.
