Tiger Woods. Roger Federer. Alex Rodriguez.The most talented in their respective sports, almost without room for discussion.
Yet what separates Woods and Federer from A-Rod is their propensity to come up big when it matters most.
In fairness to A-Rod, baseball is a team sport, so his success depends on the performance of eight other individuals. But at 32 years old and without a championship to his name, A-Rod needs a championship to cement his legacy.
So let's pose the question: does A-Rod belong in the company of Woods and Federer? Is it even a fair comparison?

I'm really not sure it's a fair comparison, because as you mention it's tough to compare guys in individual sports to guys in team sports. By the same token, can you even compare Michael Jordan to Woods and Federer? I'm not sure you really can. It's a tough debate.
