Who is the best athelte in sports history

Question

And if they aren't well known list the sport they played.

Answer 1

everyone will say Michael Jordan because that is everyoens lord and savior.  Jordan is also the best plumber, grass cutter, carpenter, truck driver and dentist of all time too in their opinion im sure.  Me personally im going with Deion Sanders.  Im only 31 so I havent seen alot of people that older posters may have, but to be good enough to play in 2 major sports is very impressive.  I know there were others such as Brian Jordan and Bo Jackson, im just picking Sanders.

Back in the day Wayne Gretzky, today it would be Alexander Ovechkin. In case people dont know the sport is Hockey.
