You did say a couple more track stars. Since Florence Griffith-Joyner isn't there, how about Jackie Joyner-Kersee?

Re: Reforming College Hockey

Young might be pushing it, he only played half his career in the 20th century.

But Its ESPN. They dont care. Young was at #77, most likely based on prior achievements in the 19th Century.

Re: Reforming College Hockey

FYI
Baseball (23) Football (20) Track/Field (12) Basketball (11) Tennis (8) Boxing (7) Hockey (6) Golf (6) Horse Racing (5) Auto Racing (3) Swimming/Diving (2) Speed Skating (2) Gymnastics(1)

Thats 106 people? Even if there is overlap, that still seems high?

6. Jesse Owens


It doesn't specify they have to be active or inactive. I think when the list was originally done several years ago there were some that were still active. But to be on the list they had to be "Great" ten years ago, so I think it's safe to say they are not active.

I suppose you could make the case that Jack Nicklaus at #9 for example still plays in the Senior PGA.... But that's as close as it gets for currently active.
