    I consider Bob Mathias to be the best male athlete and Babe the best woman athlete ever. Bob would have kicked her butt in the decathlon, but she would have whooped his in a round of golf.

    I associate Mathias with Football for some reason. Maybe I'm confusing him with someone else. He was a decathlon champion? Geez. Remember Bruce Jenner? Wasn't he a big deal when he was a he? I wonder how some can be so talented in so many areas. Don't the various sports take different skills? I'm gonna ask. Thank you for your reply Elle. I'm gonna GOOGLE Bob Mathias and educate myself!  :) I just had a flash of insight Elle. I was thinking of BOB WATERFIELD! That's football right?

    He was married at one time to movie star Jane Russell. Was that before your time Elle?
