Bo Jackson Didn't Choose baseball just because the royals won it all the year before.

Ya Thorpe definitely has the most impressive resume. Dave Winfield is a guy who didn't even make the list who should be considered up there with Bo and Thorpe.

He was also a star basketball player at Minnesota, and was drafted by both the NBA and the ABA. He was also drafted by the Minnesota Vikings. He is one of only two people who have been selected in the draft of four different pro organizations. Prob the most underrated multisport athlete of all time. Elway was another guy who is underrated.

In New Zealand alone we've had George Nepia, who was similar to your number one, as the first prominent Maori athlete, he played Rugby for the national rugby team known as the All Blacks, and that particular team known as the Invincibles, and also played Rugby League for our national team. Then there are a few who represented New Zealand in both Rugby and Cricket, Jeff Wilson being the most notable but there were others before him I believe, and then there's Sonny Bill Williams, world champion in Rugby and Rugby League, and has also been trying his hand at professional boxing. And I'm sure there are Brits who have represented their country in both either Rugby and Cricket or Football and Cricket. There's Australians and other European and even possibly South American or South African athletes who have also had success in two sports. Maybe you could have done an all American top ten and a Rest of the World top ten?

And if you CAN'T do that, you should better consider that the only measure for greatness can be the achievement in ones own time.

An interesting tidbit. Who was the fullback during Bo Jackson's years at Auburn? "The Big Hurt" Frank Thomas.

Sorry, Frank’s first year at Auburn (86-87) was the year after Bo’s last year. Frank also played tight end, but only one year. Bo did come back and practice baseball with Auburn’s team to get ready before spring training in ‘87.

You forgot John Elway, Dave Winfield, and Kirk MCaskil. MCaskil wasn't H of F for any sport but was drafted into all 4 major sports.

There weren't many real choices for 2 and 1. Bo and Thorpe were just literally unbelivable.
