Baseball - Mays and Griffey Jr (tie)
Basketball - Maravich (So good no one else could play with him)
Football - Alworth
Hockey - Bossy
Golf - Snead and Woods (Most wins)
Boxing - Louis
Tennis - Laver
Track - Jim Ryun

For football, Brady is a fine choice. But I will go with my guy, Joe Montana.

Others to consider, Jim Thorpe, Jesse Owens, Michael Phelps, Messi. Of course Babe Ruth, Jordan, Gretzky.

I have dozens of others in my collection (field hockey, table tennis, sled dog racing...) as this is one of my collecting foci, but if we're limiting it to 9 sports, how about these 9 all-time greats?

Babe Ruth
Tom Brady
Wilt Chamberlain
Wayne Gretzky
Lionel Messi
Novak Djokovic
Sugar Ray Robinson
Don Bradman
Michael Phelps

Thank you....Saw some Orr votes... (Not that I don't love Wayne....but any others receiving votes...nope)

Also...Felt like Messi had some "assistance" in his last year....regardless still going with Pele all the way
