Capn_Jackson Posted yesterday at 04:56 AM Posted yesterday at 04:56 AM I think there are several factors that make it difficult to determine a GOAT, but I have my picks in various sports. MJ Brady (damn him…) Nolan (yeah, I’m biased) Beltré (for non-pitchers, and again… heavily biased) Pelé Jack Karch Phelps Simone The Great One 1

Chibearsv Posted yesterday at 01:04 PM Posted yesterday at 01:04 PM I’m in camp B. I think it’s impossible to objectively name a GOAT, especially in team sports. My GOAT is Tiger. He played the game in a way that nobody thought was possible. He had all the tools: skill, power, artistry, nerves of steel, and touch. 2
Cigar Surgeon Posted yesterday at 02:02 PM Posted yesterday at 02:02 PM I believe it's Wayne Gretzky, and if you look at his stat comparison and records and then compare it to someone like Michael Jordan, Jordan would have needed something like 20,000 more points to be in the same ballpark. There's a reason he's called the Great One. 3
