I don't know if anyone brought this up here, but before Babe became one of the best hitters in baseball, he was a damned good pitcher. That, for my money, makes him the greatest of all time. Oh and I gotta go sean connery too, and I'd like to add that Timothy Dalton has got to be the worst Bond, in my opinion
edit:I see that some people mentioned the Babe pitching thing, so I apologize. Just one comment further I had, for those who equate what Bonds is doing today and saying he could hit 100 home runs in the 20's because of his fitness I say this. You are dealing with a drasticall different ball back then as opposed to today. There no talk of "juicing" of the ball like there is today. The ball they used has always been called "flat" as far I've heard, as opposed to the jump the ball has today. That makes a difference I think.

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
