that no one should be told to "get a clue" on an opinion topic. That is pretty ignorant in itself but you can only take so many off-color, off the wall, or completely pointless comments before they get annoying. |

The tough part about baseball/football players is the overlapping seasons. Bo Jackson had a pretty good year in 1989 (950 yards rushing in 11 games and 105 RBIs). He was definitely exciting to watch when he was handed the football. In 1989 he struck out over 170 times but was a 30+HR/20+SB player. It's too bad that his sports career was cut short by a debilitating hip injury. |

the sports various posters consider valid for someone to be considered a great athlete. Anyone who ever saw Eric Heiden or Dan Jansen skate certainly would consider them great athletes - same for Carl Lewis. BTW - I heard that Dan Jansen later trained and ran his first marathon (26.2 miles) in under 3 hours. If you don't think that involves athleticism. |

Adam, does the name Clyde Wright ring a bell? High sports is meaningless. An outstanding college career, such as Bo Jackson's counts for a lot, especially since he won a Heisman. His dominance at the college level carried over to to his pro career in both baseball and football. If I remember right, so you ssaid you are 24. Given that fact, you weren't old enough to appreciate just how great Bo Jackson really was. I know that I saw a lot of sports before I was 10 years old, but I had no clue just how great Clememte, Mays, Chamberlain and other stars of the day really were until I got older. |

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. |

Eddy belongs in the top 10 of any list of great athletes. |
