Nobody stands apart in their own sport as the great Sir Don Bradman.

I also think that sport that require a certain kind of specialism in size should be obmmited i.e Basketball and horse riding, to name just two.

The same could be said about Mark Spitz, Jesse Owens, Michael Jordan, and Lance Armstrong.
No, it could not: and I have discounted Jorden because of the limitations of the sport.

Do you know anything about the Don?

    Yes, I read about him, but he played Cricket. Cricket is like baseball with less movement. I don't think Cricket or Baseball players are ATHLETES, they do something that requires skill. Skill is different from athleticism.

    well if u have to run 22 yards (batsmen) for 3-4 hours maybe even more + run 15-18 yards (fast bowlers) 120 times a day i think that does require some level of athletic ability

    Sure it could. How is basketball "limited"? They have world championships and Olympics, you dunce.
    I wouldn't expect you to understand.

    But I'll try, regardless of the fact you are a missing link.

    To be able to be a champion in certain sports, you have to be of a certain size i.e jockeys are small, basketball players are tall, sumo wrestlers are huge. This restricts the game to a smaller pool of human kind. Therefore they are limited.

    The fact that they have a championship is neither here or there: ball room dancing does too.

    You know nothing about cricket, my dear chap.

    Wow, big fellow, don't you have a lot.

    I am impressed.

    Which house would you like to know about?

    You still do not know what you are waffling on about, and fail, as always to make a coherent argument.
