Answer 1

Gretzky was just the most dominant athlete in his sport. In his prime no one came even close to what he did. Can't say that about Pele. Gretsky wins easy!

Second one is tough. Hank Aaron broke one of the greatest record in sports history. But the difference between baseball the football in regards to greatness is that in baseball longevity counts more. You can be in the baseball hall of fame if you put up "good" numbers consistently for a long period of time. You can get away with "quantity" to be in the hall of fame. Football on the other hand you have to have dominant years and actually win titles to be considered great. And that's what Montana did. He was a great winner and also the winner of this match up.

btw...gretsky vs. montana...gretsky wins. personally Tiger Woods will be the greatest athlete ever because of records broke, championships won, dominance over peers, and transcending beyond the sport and affect on society. but that's just my opinion.

Answer 2
