With the success Babe Ruth had while abusing his body, it makes you wonder what today's training programs and a healthy diet would do. He was a HOF pitcher as well as a HOF hitter. Even Ty Cobb said he ran well for a fat guy.

There are a lot of athletes who wouldn't make the list, simply because they had to choose one sport over another. While players like Frank Thomas, Tony Gwynn, Danny Ainge, John Elway, etc had successful careers, they also were able to play other sports at a high level. However, it's pretty tough to play more than one. Bo Jackson and Deion had many run ins with their respective teams, simply for the overlap of seasons.
