yeah, Gretzky has the numbers for sure. I just don't see him as being in the mold of a best athlete. he's in the Tiger Woods class of 'really good at their sport but not really what I think of when I think of an athlete'.
I actually think Bonds is a good candidate if you're going to go that route. I know everyone will lol steroids him into the ground but he was so dominant in a crowd of people who were doing the same thing that I find it totally impressive. no one had the numbers that he did - Ruth included.
