Love the Mick Foley guess, but alas he is not on there.

Ray Ewry is #6.  Ten Olympic golds in jumping.  Held the record for individual golds until it was broken by Michael Phelps.  

I will be honest, I had to look up a list of Olympians from Indiana to get that one. I figured it was him once I saw his accomplishments as they're pretty impressive.

Heisman trophy winner and College Football Hall of Famer.  Surprised that one took so long.

I think the sticking point on him was knowing he was born in Indiana...more associated with Michigan...I'd seen it on one of the BTN shows, but forgot it til @rico posted it...

I'll be honest.  If I ever heard his name before, it was in relation to Michael Phelps passing him for individual golds.  But, his name did not register at all when I first saw the list.  Had to Google him.

All right ladies and gents, me and the kids are headed out to take my better half to breakfast for Mother's Day.  Keep the guesses coming.  When I return, I will provide some final hints.  At approximately 9 o'clock tonight, I will reveal any names that have not yet been identified.

The wife is slow getting ready this morning (what guy has ever heard that before).  So, I thought I would go ahead and provide the hint for the final four in a little bit of a riddle.

You all have done great, but there are still 4 to go.  You can figure it out.  Just don't run around like crazy doing backflips.  Relax.  Maybe dream about a cross-country flight to California and find a nice long beach to take a walk on.

Jimmy Piersall wasn't from Indiana, I don't think 😁
