Phelps doubtless is the best swimmer ever, but I don't think a sport where the participants' faces are mostly in the water and are otherwise obscured by goggles is ever going to really capture the public the way other sports do. I would put Carl Lewis on the same tier in terms of Olympians by the way.
And NOLAN RYAN? You mean the guy Bill James ranks the 24th best pitcher ever?
