    This deserved a google....

    Let's see... Jews are 2% of the US population so you have to come up with more than 50 non-Jewish sports legends for every Jewish one for them not to be representative. Let's get started...

    As for recongizable names, Sandy Koufax, Mark Spitz, Hank Greenberg, Pete Sampras. Ok, now you name 200. ;)

    Here's a list of Jewish athletes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_American_athletes

    BTW, there were 27 Jewish boxing world champions or titleholders between 1900 and 1940.

    Hey, and looks like they do pretty well in the Olympics:

    Now can you tell me what's your ancestry so we can perpetuate the childish approach that you adopted from mrdave543? ;)

    Cohen, how do you determine a person's Jewish identity?

    Other posters please refrain from responding until Cohen does it first. I am only interested in Cohen's answer at this point.

    PS: To make it more specific, I am seeking only your (Cohen's) methodology/standard/criterion/personal opinion, so please don't quote any third party source, no matter how authoritative/genuine it is in reality.

    I'm sorry, but I just wanted to say that Sandy Koufax was all he needed to post. Carry on. ;)
