Greatest player you've seen in each sport?

Williams always maintained Dimaggio was better....to go 56 straight games with a hit....then 16 more after a hitless game is so Extraordinary I don't know where to even start....Original Yankee Stadium had a 460' Centerfield back then...with 435' Power alleys which is absurd....If The Original Yankee Stadium had dimensions that current Yankee Stadium has...Both Ruth and Dimaggio would have an extra 100 HRs....

It would have helped DiMaggio a lot but the original Yankee stadium was always friendly for lefties. In fact, it was intentionally tailor made for Ruth. 298' down the right field line, power alley in right field 360'-370'. Even though it was only 302' down the left field line, it got steep quickly.

See, this is why football is superior to baseball. Every field is the same length and width. Every set of goalposts is the same height and width.

The old boston garden was designed to measure the same but perform differently. Nuances.
