Who are the giants when you put all five sports on one shelf? There is no honest way to say a quarterback's raw value equals a shortstop's — so we don't. Each career is ranked by where it sits inside its own sport's value distribution (its VAL percentile), the one measure that means the same thing in every sport. The player who tops each sport sits at ~100; everyone below is ordered by how far they tower over their own peers.
Built from the same cross-sport prominence signal that powers search relevance (S217/S232). Raw VAL is not comparable across sports and is never used to rank across them; the within-sport percentile is. Ties at the very top (one career per sport) are ordered by name.
Showing 50 of 600careers. Value is each player's percentile within their ownsport's career-VAL distribution — the honest cross-sport floor.
