My top three, excluding presidents (and Ben Franklin), is:
1 Babe Ruth
2 Elvis Presley
3 Neil Armstrong
I'll submit Patton to be near that list, unless he's a "political figure" and doesn't qualify.

What would’ve been if he didn’t go risk his neck for this country. Also, he was screwed out of the MVP in 41.

Mantle was hobbled his entire career on two bum knees. He hits 700+ if he hadn’t been.

He’s most assuredly in the top 10...maybe top 5.
Twain is also a top 10 American legend.
