At one time I'd think Tommy Lasorda was right up there.

Peyton Manning. He is on TV commercials and ESPN constantly. I would think he is recognized most everywhere. He seems to be very personable.

John Madden

In baseball, Ken Griffey Jr. still has the affection of millions of fans. He is seen as the “clean” hero of the ‘90s.

America's most beloved living sports legend......

Well id say just about everyone in America knows who Michael Jordan is & that he is a legend.

But if we are leaving him off....

Id go with wane gretzky, by far the best hockey player of all time, his records will never be broken. And even though hockey isnt as popular as the rest of the sports id think most Americans know who he is and that hes the gratest all time

I agree with Gretzky.
A true icon by definition as the representative symbol of his sport...
not many listed in this thread share his lofty status.

True. Jeter is in the same category and not far behind Jr.
