Babe Ruth. He was the greatest American of his time, and probably all time. His story is legend and his myth is bigger than anyone in American culture. People who do great things are said to have completed a Ruthian feat. Nobody has ever been as ubiquitously followed in the U.S. Perhaps a different definition of "great" has to be used for him, but I think he counts.
I also think, in a more traditional way, FDR needs to be mentioned.
