O/T - best all time

Posted By: Rhys

The best Baseball player of all time is Babe Ruth with only perhaps Cobb even being in the discussion. You can make arguments for people like Ted Williams because of his missed years for service and those are valid arguments, but at the end of the day it is going to be Babe Ruth.

Best Football player of All-Time is Red Grange (prewar) and Jim Brown (postwar).

Best Athlete of all time (all around) is Jim Thorpe.

Added note, there are only 2 people have entered a professional sport and done things which nobody has seen before, smashed records at an unbelievable level and single handedly changed their game forever. Those two athletes are Babe Ruth and Wayne Gretzky. Like Hockey or not, Wayne Gretzky might have been the greatest player compared to his peers that ever participated in any major sport.
