Putting Tendulkar Into Another Perspective

From the May 21st Time Magazine.


TOTAL DOMINANCE

Tendulkar leads his nearest cricket rival, Australia's Ricky Ponting, by a margin wider than the two top scorers in other major sports.

Career leader in each sport category and percentage ahead of the runner-up:

41% Sachin Tendulkar in cricket 100-run innings 100 over Ricky Pont, 71
21%  Brett Favre football passing touchdowns 508 over Dan Marino, 420
12% Wayne Gretzky in hockey goals 894 over Gordie Howe, 801
4% Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in points 38,387 over Karl Malone 36,928
1% Barry Bonds in baseball home runs 762 over Hank Aaron, 755
