Nah I did not know him. I made the poll based on the sports I know, I wish there are more choices but only limited to 10 choices. Which sport is he in?

i guess ill go with the babe to represent baseball and because he was a great pitcher before he became one of the best hitters, and an all around good guy.. i wish he'd lay off the red sox though...
threetonesun
Duh, Ali ... although Jordan is close. And why didn't Pele represent the sport of soccer?
kryptonik

I don't think Beckham should be on the pole, theres much better great past soccer player like Pele or Maradona.
