As part of what I am doing I am now going to go back and compare my list of all time greats and pantheon players to corresponding all time lists for certain countries. This will act as two things 1) a retrospective on my style of ranking which emphasizes longevity more than many tradition media voted all time rankings which emphasize peak level of performance, and 2) another chance for me to reevaluate my rankings.
