ESPN Sports Century's Video

Following is my best stab at compiling a list of the athletes that appeared in the video I posted from ESPN's Sports Century, featuring the best sports footage of the 20th Century.  I think I did a fair job, but there are still a lot of unknowns and uncertainties that I've marked with '?'s.

If anyone can fill in some of those blanks, or correct any errors I've made, I'd greatly appreciate it.
