    For some reason that reminds of the Simpsons episode with the carbon rod that saves the astronauts and gets put on the cover of Time.

    John Challis batted 1.000.

    I'm going with him as my write in.

    If you're going with "athlete who dominated his sport unlike any other" I'd have to go with Armstrong over Tiger.

    If you're going with "athlete who most personifies the decade" in a sort of Time-Magazine-Person-of-the-Year way, I'd have to go with Barry Bonds.

    Here's the thing: by picking Armstrong, who dominated his sport and likely won't between 2010-19, you would have less chance of a repeat. Woods could just be hitting his prime, could decimate Nicklaus' record in the next decade and could all-out rule golf even more than he is already.

    For me, it's a two-man race.
