Does he compare to the likes of Babe Ruth (baseball), Jack Nicklaus (golf), Wayne Gretzky (hockey)...the lists of "greatest ever" goes on for every sport.
The debate is on you, oh defenders of the truth.


My answer is yes. 7 consecutive titles. That is true domination.

Agreed. He is a true contendor and a remarkable man for all that he has done for the sport.
Godbless, Tadpole.
