Gretski is one of the best athletes for any sport. You should check into his biography and achivements that are still holding many records after decades.

I've followd Wayne's career since he first played in the WHA <i>before</i> the NHL. I know full well what his accomplishments are, I don't need to look up a damned thing about him. The point you are all missing is the what the term "ALL-ROUND ATHLETE" means. It's not so much about a one-sport wonder as it is about an athlete being proficient in many different sports.
Iron man tri-atheletes
Decathaloners
Strong man competition athletes
Multi-event swimmers
Multi-event track & feild athletes
Those are the types that should top any all-round list like that.
