I was coming to post Nolan Ryan's 7 no hitters and career K's record.

How about Bo Jackson just being a pro in 2 different sports, that's pretty damn amazing.

Gretzky has more career assists than any other player has goals/assists combined.

Easily the answer. He had almost 2,000 assists, and the about 900 goals on top of that. He is so incredibly far ahead of the whoever is second in total points.

How about deion hitting a HR and scoring a TD in the same week.

Talk about things that'll never be done again.

Tiger woods 2000 year will go down as the greatest feat. 20-20 cuts made, 9 wins (3 were majors) and top 25 in every tournament with 67 scoring average. People don't realize how fricking hard that is to do on that level.

Person - Probably Ripken's streak.

All time - Secretariat's triple crown.

I'll make the homer pick.

Jesse Owens 45 minutes

Tied the 100 meter world record
World record for the long jump
"220" or "200" world record
"220" or "200" hurdles world record

To me it's the thing that when I remember it I am always blown away. He did stuff like lead the league in triples too.
Not to mention winning Super Bowls and playing in a World Series. Only person to do that too
