Baseball: Ty Cobb. No, not Ruth. Cobb was just better all round. Sure, he was not the best person off the field, (or sometimes on the field,) but he is the best.
Basketball: Michael Jordan. I don't pay much attention to Basketball, and I know some players are up there but he was just so good.
Football: Tom Brady. I was not a fan of his repetitive SB appearances, but I can't deny he is probably the best.
Hockey: Wayne Gretzky. Duh. What else is there to say?
Now the best to play for my teams:
Kirby Puckett.
Hakeem Olajuwan.
Walter Payton.
Alex Ovechkin, who is the only player I see beating Gretzky.

The GOAT meme is a fairly recent invention and a total joke.....
Comparing A to B, when the players they competed against
are as different as the Sport itself.....
Makes the whole idea laughable (to me anyways)....

Ruth, Jordan, Brady, Gretzky.
That felt easier than it should've been.
When I first read the question, I thought you wanted the GOAT across all sports. I think the biggest single name in the history of sport is probably Mohammed Ali, with Ruth not far behind.

It's sports! And the friendly (and not so friendly) discussions about who's best have existed across the eras.
I will say that I'd prefer there be reasons stated rather than simply listing names.

I thought about doing that but decided just the major sports because I didn't think that the water polo or bowling goat many people would know much about.

I would submit, list Teammates, who do more in a Team Game than just whoever
gets the headlines.... Too many "Great" sic Players have had their buns pulled out of a
fire (bad situation) by a teammate doing something exceptional, but rarely noted.....

A G.O.A.T. to me doesn't have to be unfair or cheat to gain an advantage. So all those Tom Brady fans will be okay if their significant other cheats. Because hey that's what G.O.A.T.s do
As for my teams
Andre Reed
Babe Ruth
Gilbert Perrault
And imo a tie between magic Johnson and Kobe
