Trend setters
The big thing about Hendrix, Ruth, Unitas was all these people ushered in a new era in their fields - the thing about being first in a genre is big -or at least being recognized as the groundbreaker as in the case of say Elvis.
There might be better players, performers, scientists or whatever but in the context of their times we tend to remember those who set the bar. We also tend remember those from our formative times in our lives -hence for example in my case say-- Unitas is still my bench mark QB --I've seen maybe a coupla as good but better -- not so much.
Enjoy the Holidays,
