Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas. Food eating champ.........She also gets an honorable mention in the "Wind Breaking" category.
She looks kind of like Sally Field on PCP.
A couple of GOATS I'd add (hope they haven't been mentioned and I missed them):
Soccer - Pele (never cared much for soccer growing up, but the guy was simply phenomenal)
Olympic Weight Lifting - Vasili Alexeyev (it was him and everybody else when I was a boy)
Speed Skater - Eric Heiden
Pro Football Coach - Vince Lombardi (personal favorite, so I had to list him, but he was the man in his day)
*edit* Almost left this guy out...

One hit wonders
Eric Gagne- Went from average, to one of the best relief seasons in MLB history and then fell of the face of the earth.
Brady Anderson- Slap hitter belts 40 homers one year.
Can't believe I left off Rivera from earlier. He definitely has the edge over Smoltzie.
Didn't Anderson hit 50 one year?

And don't forget Ted Williams missed about 5 prime playing years to serve his country in the military during time of war.
And not doing PR stuff; playing softball, selling war bonds, and signing autographs. He really served.
He became a marine aviator during WWII, so good he became an instructor. Then he was called back up during the Korean War and flew over 30 combat missions.
People smarter than me extrapolated his career stats if he had played those years and it's eye-popping.

Thats actually pretty much a requirement of being a big leaguer. No other way to tell a slider from a fast ball bc the major leaguers usually dont alter their motions.

I usually hate when ancient threads are resurrected, but re-reading this one has been fun.
Brady has solidified GOAT QB.
LeBron has put hoops GOAT in dispute.
Saban college football coaching GOAT.
