Who does everyone think is the most dominant at their particular sport ever? I say most dominant, as obviously comparing eras, comparing sports etc can be complicated.
My vote would go to Sir Donald Bradman. He was an Australian cricketer in the 30s and 40s. His batting average was 99.94. To those who don't know cricket, that means be averages 99.94 runs between getting out. The next best is 60 (there are then a plethora of people between 40 and 60). A 99.94 Test batting average in cricket is equivalent to a .392 career batting average in baseball and 43.0 career points per game in basketball.
Other candidates I guess are Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Babe Ruth.
I'm sure there are loads I don't know of. Any nominations?
