More top ten sports lists

Just for the sake of argument, and because sports encompasses so many angles, people and events, a single top ten list can't possibly be "the list." So, we've compiled three additional 1995 lists based on the following factors: 1.) top ten headlines, 2.) top ten individual achievements, 3.) top ten team achievements.

Here's our top ten list in each category, but feel free to put together your own lists and match them against ours. Happy listing!
