Let's not defer to ESPN's Sports Century list either.

Smooth Jones, I think you disqualify several athletes on your list by your own definition. Track and Field is considered a single sport with the various events being different events. Kind of like a center, a punter, a quarterback, and a safety being different positions in the sport of football.
I'm not saying I disagree with your selections, I just don't consider Track and Field to be two different sports.

My list would be large, but it would definitely include Jim Thorpe, Babe Didrickson, Michael Jordan, Jesse Owens, Cassius Clay (Ali), Jack Nicklaus, and Konishiki.
