Best Athlete Ever - Second Round

We are now moving into the second round of voting for the Best Athlete Ever. There were some surprising results (12th seeded Joe DiMaggio advancing over Dale Earnhardt; 14 seed Lou Gehrig taking down 3rd seeded Richard Petty; 13th seeded Oscar Robertson besting Mario Lemieux) as well as some expected dominance by the top seeds.

Apparently there is little respect for NASCAR or for women. Of the four NASCAR drivers, none advanced (with none putting up much of a fight). Out of the six women included (sorry Mia Hamm fans) none advanced. Lisa Leslie and Serena Williams put up the best fights, with each only losing by one vote. Alas, not all groups can make it to the next round and so we continue.

Let's check out the updated bracket...

Don't forget to vote below and let us know who you should make the Sweet Sixteen. I sense a few upsets will happen again, but I don't anticipate any 1 or 2 seeds losing in this round. You neve know though! Again, feel free to vote based on whatever criteria you see fit. After selecting one of each pair, scroll over to the right within the survey box and select "finished."
